Wire Tapper Track
I listened to "Mosquito (Excerpt)" by The Necks from The Wire Tapper 12, Disc 1. Its tempo is driven by a ticking, clock-like sound at the beginning and eases toward the end with gentle, regular cymbal taps. Ever-present are discordant sounds, layered on top of measured piano notes. I like it because it seems like how these people imagined a mosquito translated into music would be. At first is the relative frenzy and nervousness of being without a meal, and avoiding obstacles on your way to "food." In the middle of the track, I imagine the mosquito has found a meal and the track seems to take on a heart-beat-like pulse. Then there is the relaxation of being sated.
