Re: behold....
I might use it if a song I was playing was actually in whole tone (like the song these guys are playing). But for metal? Maybe, if I wanted something very primal sounding, but they're doing this on acoustic.

Re: behold....
I'm impressed, sounded primal and Rite Of Spring-y to me (i.e. evolution scene on Disney's original Fantasia, dinosaurs, etc, just in case you don't know).
I'd use it if I could find a song it worked with. Sometimes certain pieces have to be written with their solo. As you use whole-tone and 12-tone-row writing, the songs take on an otherworldly sound anyways. Then it's more about sound as the ultimate goal, versus traditional songs about the V1 Chorus V2 Chorus Solo Chorus etc.
I'm a big fan of impressionistic music in general, though. I'd rather write a song that sounds like a bird soaring through the air than the same old V1 C V2 C Solo C type pop music. That's why, ironically, I listen to Discovery channel a lot on TV for the guitar music because it's different.

Re: behold....
Daring to do something different. It's also sort of impromptu, which gives it a human element I can relate to, what with people being silly and the laughter that is heard.
And I'm not into MySpace, sorry. Got a soundclick page? Those are much better in my opinion....
EDIT: Oh, duh, nevermind, you have soundclick lol

Re: behold....
When the character in focus in a movie is going insane, sometimes the background music switches to more atonal / whole-tone / 12-tone-row music to make the music sound more insane. Some of the stuff in the Matrix trilogy is definitively atonal for a reason. Buy the sound track CD rather than the "music inspired by" CD and see what I mean.
Some movies do different things, however, like the Star Wars and Indiana Jones series movies (same composer IIRC, John Williams), go with a Wagnerian (pronounced "vahg-neer-ian") theme, where every sort of character or place has its own motif. For example, you ALWAYS know when Darth Vader is either on camera or soon will be, because it shifts to his infamous theme song. Stuff like that is considered Wagnerian or "thematic" / "motific".
If you're this much into music, try to get a waiver to take some college courses for credit, such as intro to Music Theory. Having words to describe what you already know about music helps a lot (I say this because you probably know what I'm saying, just not the phrase or terms to describe what I'm saying, etc).

Re: behold....
No problem. As you progress in music college, eventually you get a class called "Form and Analysis" or something to that effect where you go through and learn to classify music based on what it is, etc. It's sort of like "applied theory".
