1Overall Description
Soundeffects!! The song basically is just that. Most songs have a unique combination of melodies and rythem that make the song stand out from the others in a postive or negative way. This song is not one of those, it's got loads of soundeffects and a 5:22 long note that doesn't evolve or changes in any way. Except for a looping pulse maybe.
I enjoy the song. Its a very nice, strange, beautiful, effect-based and quieting song that absolutely does what the author intended it to do. The song makes you stop thinking about yourself, and start thinking about.. Nothing.
 
2Creativity Description
Even for ambient this song is rather limited in it's use of elements. The creativity of this song doesn't lie in it's way to attract and keep attention of the listener. The idea behind the song is that you shouldn't focus on anything at all.
In my opinion the creativity lies in all the weird sounds and unlogical arrangement. I dont think that many persons on this globe can say that they've heard songs like this. I'd have to give the author credit for that.
 
3Arrangement Description
The arrangement is one of the unique aspects of this song. If there is any.
You could call the song repititive, because one of the sounds plays continuously, but it's not repetitive at the same time, because all other soundeffects aren't repetitive. The contast between those two is interesting, because it provides the listener with something to hold on to, and something new to be suprised at at the same time.
 
4Does it work as a piece of music Description
I dont think that it does. You cannot play this song with your friends and have a nice chat. You cannot listen to this during gaming, or put it in a movie(ok, the last thing can be argued.)
However, I dont believe that author wanted us to listen to the song all day long during conditions as written above. I think that the song does what it's supposed to do, while it lasts.
