The Glass Engine
As she spoke, the familiar and unmistakable squinch-squanch, squinch-squanch of the DYNNE’s heavy footsteps could be heard plodding over the hill, and when he finally appeared he was dragging an incredibly large sack behind him.

“Can anyone use these sounds?” he puffed, mopping his forehead. “They all came over the hill at once and none of them are awful enough for me.”
—“The Phantom Tollbooth” by Norton Juster

I have recently discovered the music of Philip Glass. Some of his more popular (i.e. well-known) works you may have heard are from his movie soundtracks. A Brief History of Time (based on the book by Steven Hawking), Kundun (about the life of the 14th Dalai Lama, and directed by Martin Scorsese), and The Truman Show (A gnostic fairy-tale starring Jim Carrey) are just a small sampling of his work.

A larger selection of his work may be found on-line through a marvelous device known as The Glass Engine.
I hope you will enjoy it more than the Awful DYNNE would!
