Hi Will,

To my ears the form and instrumentation are reminiscent of music for a 
carousel or carnival. In my psyche (admittedly influenced by 'way too 
many horror and sf books & movies from the 50s and 60s) there's 
something inherently surreal or even menacing about such things and 
events. Perhaps it's a cultural conditioning ?

Best,
