The first time I read Bram Stoker’s Dracula I got really upset. The main character gave me an impression of being misunderstood. Sure, he had his flaws like all villains do, but I thought that Van Helsing was the true antagonist of the story. He thinks everything he does is right, which isn’t very scientific, and he should defeat evil, no matter the cost. But evil is a point of view. As Alan Rickman said in an interview: “I don’t play villains. I play interesting people.”
Right after I’ve finished Dracula I made this composition:
It carried a lot of anger, which I felt like I had to get out of my system to be able to move on. That’s also why it’s a bit unpolished and I never went back to record it a second time. Is it human nature that we are drawn to characters like Dracula, The Phantom of the Opera, Frankenstein's monster etc., characters that have bad moral? Is it because we find it fascinating to study a theoretical mind that acts like we shouldn’t? What do you think?

Thank you so much @steemitboard! /ᐠ ._. ᐟ\ﾉ
I like that! It reminds me of the music that they played for silent movies, as it changed moods for action, failure, sadness disdain, returned happiness, etc.
It also reminded me a bit of the Overture from Tommy
Thanks JW! ^^
The last part of the song you shared (around 3:55) reminded me of Steve Howe's (the) Clap:
