John Carpenter - Main Theme (Halloween: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

“My dad, when I was 13 or 14 years old, taught me how to play 5/4 time on bongos. So years later I thought I’d go on the piano and just do octaves and go up. And it just came. 5/4 is nuts, you know. Where does it end? What’s going on? You can’t find the start and stop of it; it’s off.”
