wrong impressions

Imagine it's a few hundred years in the future, and there's a factory that gets energy from lasers bending around things resembling suspended balls of smoke. Everything's fine and the cities have all their energy demands met, but the factory itself is a bit creepy. What the workers (including one unlucky enough to get locked in after everyone else left) don't know is that the things resembling suspended balls of smoke have developed a hive mind, and have a primal urge to kill everyone.

I improvised a piano thing and recorded it through MIDI and then made it better with virtual instruments and stuff.

Tip: when playing an instrument, record it*. You might end up playing a piece better than you have before, or improvising something that you won't be able to recall without listening to it again.
*http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ - for this recording, I had audio from the piano going into my computer, then to audacity and an amp. This way, I heard what was being recorded, and could be sure that it wasn't distorting horribly.

I don't hold any of the rights to this, let's hope it doesn't get removed because of that...

All Of Me Ear Infected Version

This is my dumping ground for low-effort or unlistenable creations that I can't be bothered to make videos for, hope you enjoy.
