Dream your own movie

This is a collection of mostly modern classical and very cinematic pieces. When mixed together they will, hopefully, give the listener the opportunity to write his own story to the sounds.

The story:
Alfred Schnittke – In Memoriam, Moderato
Alfred Schnittke – In Memorian, Tempo di Valse
Arvo Pärt – Pari Intervalo
Sun o))) & Boris – N.L.T.
Line Renaud – Sexe
Eric Satie – Croquis et agaceries d’un gros bonhomme en bois (Tyrolienne torque)
Eric Satie – Gnossiennes – Lent
Venetian Snares – Colorless
Dmitri Shostakovich – 15e Symphony, Adagio Largo
