The forum in which all human experience resides. Especially for fans of the now-deceased original Hall of the Wendigo. Still Number One with the core demographic.

Still no signs of any actual crew members.

Perhaps they're depicting the ship after the crew disappeared, which is stupid, as no one wants to hear that. They want to hear what happens to the crew.

Thinking about it, it's vaguely reminiscent of the beginning of Six Months in a Leaky Boat by Split Enz.

Split Enz managed to get through that bit in about a minute. I'm not sure why it's taking this lot so long.

"When I was a young boy, I wanted to sail around the world. That's the life for me, living on the sea. Spirit of a sailor, circumnavigates the globe. The lust of a pioneer, will acknowledge no frontier. I remember you by, thunderclap in the sky. Lightning flash, tempers flare, 'round the horn if you dare. I just spent six months in a leaky boat, Lucky just to keep afloat."
That's what I'm expecting from them once this bit's out of the way.

Or at least, "I don't know why sometimes I get frightened."

55 minutes in. It seems to have stopped progressing. No new sounds have been added and several that were there have stopped.

The creaking, squeaking and groaning have stopped. So has the left channel scorpion.

I think the band have lost interest and are now trying to work out how they can stop without losing face.

Someone needs to tell them they've spelt Mary Celeste wrong.

Just two minutes to go. Plenty of time for a song to break out.

It is over.
That was very interesting in the way it built and created mood.
However, it took too long to do it and made no attempt to capture the activities and feelings of the crew, like a proper classical composer would have done. It seems to me that they missed the main story.
Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it.

Let's remind ourselves how Split Enz would have done it.

It's based on the Conan Doyle short story.
Possibly.
