The latest in my series of "Compositions of a Stupid Autistic Mind," which are either repetitive on purpose or are just stupid little melodies I improvise. Why? It represents the annoying things I used to do as a child, which proved to my parents I really am autistic. This whole series of compositions are based on dreams I have from time to time, which are flashbacks of my childhood. These repetitive melodies, therefore, are generally either things I improvised and they stuck with me, or were based on things I discovered I remembered wrong. Alternately, they're sometimes relevant to a current event in my life, or just represent what mood I am in right now (or otherwise tell the story of my life). This series also is a challenge for me to use specific MuseScore templates at least once (although I also modify settings on the templates to make it easier on myself). That challenge is completed, though, so I'm now going back to templates I am used to, namely when there's lots of percussion.

This one, entitled "Stress," just represents times in my life, work or otherwise, where I have been so stressed out, all I want to do is scream. I emphasize this on the first beat of every measure. But screaming isn't the answer, folks; it's best to stay calm and logically work out a solution, not get all emotional about everything.

This is for my usual percussion mix:
