Strike Break features a jagged rhythm for agogo, English horn (sounds more like a recorder, however), and synth drum noises, in honor of the AFSCME strike at the University of Minnesota. Let the strike end.

Experimental fractal music
Creating audio is as simple as drawing a line through a fractal image. Anyone can do it! This line determines the notes as well as the duration of each note, depending upon the length of each segment of color that it intersects. These audio files have influences from diverse sources in the avant-garde world. Scales used may sound unusual to some listeners and the range of bent notes can contribute to a mysterious sound. I tend to call these works 'sound', rather than 'music'. They're not popular and not things that one would listen to more than once, unfortunately.

Story behind the song
The strike goes on and on. So does this music, although it lasts only two minutes, but there are a lot of uncomfortable notes in those long two minutes. The music itself uses a combined scale of 249.183 + Ga grama to give it a timeless, almost aboriginal quality. (I use aboriginal in a general sense.) It's also unusual in that I use mostly higher-pitched notes for this piece, because I tend to use low to medium-pitch notes almost exclusively otherwise. I used my favorite software, Chaos von Eschenbach, to create this.
Lyrics
"Hey, Bob, it's strike number two, give fair wages to workers at the U!" (AFSCME chant heard around the campus of the University of Minnesota. "Bob"=Bob Bruininks, President)
