There are just too many of these little sites that want you to register before you can listen to anything. I've had enough of those. They're too much trouble to bother with.

Lovely. Interesting that it doesn't sound especially dissonant to me,
at least not in the way that I think of dissonance. It reminds me of
"Nightmare Before Christmas" in some way, though I'm not quite sure
which.

I found a web page, but where's the music?

There's a little music player in the top post. I originally included
a link to the actual post but it was too long and got cut off. Here
is the link in case you want to paste it into your browser.

I think I might know what the problem is. I posted this comment with
the link to the actual post, but it was too long and got cut off and
wouldn't work. I deleted the comment, but it looks like it still got
sent to the email subscribers. I posted a second comment with just a
link to my blog. http://danielthompson.blogspot.com/ There's a little
music player in the top article. I don't think that it requires you
to register. If it does, I'll have to find a different way to post
music.

That's what I found which didn't seem to have any music.

No, that is not the problem. The problem is that I can't find any link
to a midi, mp3, ogg etc file on the page. It's either not there or not
obvious. This is the way you post music--you put up a url which links
directly to the music, or you give one which gives a page where the
links are highly visible and obvious.

Sorry about all the problems. I wonder if the player isn't showing up
in your browser. This is my first time posting music to my blog, so
I'm grateful to hear if some are having problems. This link should
take you to my esnips page where you can also find the file.

I hope that works. Thanks.

I have to say, this worked for me, and I liked the piece, but I
think in-page players are the antichrist and I have no idea why
people use them.

You should not depend on players showing up in people's browsers. In my
opinion, the music needs to be downloadable.

From there I downloaded a 36k text file with no extension which seems
to be entirely useless. I was really hoping for an mp3, ogg or midi
file.
