Good idea! Thanks!

I have a melody in my head with a fast "staccato" rythm, but I cant find the
title… its like some steampunk style-clockwork noise or smthg :) I dont give
up till I find it

I’ve tried so far (non of it fits perfectly):

Aphex Twin: Window licker
Finntroll: Trollhammaren
Ultraspank: Click
Orgy: Blue monday
Dave Brubeck: Take five <– this is my favourite so far (extra point for the
title:-)

Prodigy: Omen

still seeking…

Andras,

Many congratulations on your acheivement!

How about Ravel’s Bolero for your music suggestion? The full version is a bit
long (15-17 min) so it might not fit into the YouTube 10 min window without a
little editing, but everything else about it seems to fit your criteria.

It has a constant steady rhythm, no lyrics, and builds slowly but inexorably to
a climax that you could obviously coordinate with completing the last turn to
get the cube fully solved.

After that the piece has a few more bars of ‘resolution’ melody that maybe
could be overlayed with a few turns of the fully solved cube to verify you did
indeed have all 10 hyperfaces in their pristine state.

Just a thought :)
