At 120 BPM, this doesn’t sit still. The prepared piano becomes a percussive engine — detuned thumps, metallic scrapes, notes that land slightly wrong on purpose. In 9A it keeps a minor tint even when the mood flips between happy and sad; the aggression is in the attack, the relaxation in the spaces between. Energy at 8, but danceability at 0.54 means it’s for the head and the hips in unequal measure.

I’d slot it mid-set when the room needs a left turn — after something straight, before something deeper. It builds a small, claustrophobic chamber and then lets a little air in. The twitchy rhythm is the point: not a peak, but a useful tension. It rewards close listening and punishes anyone trying to mix it too cleanly.
