The aptly named piece "Mystifying" is a new work from the incredibly talented Japanese composer known as Sounds M. Broken diminished chords are laid out on the piano via repetitive figures, while haunting woodwinds hint at eerie melodies on this contemporary classical number that is sure to leave listeners feeling astounded and bewildered. Sounds M paints a truly unique sonic landscape on "Mystifying" that evokes a wide range of emotions, and is one that should appeal to fans of the avant-garde while also having practical cinematic application as part of a soundtrack or film score.
