| Analysis: |
The dripping sounds begin with the same contour pattern as the previous cue [1032044], then become random within a tight (012345) melodic cell; harmonized with E9#11 chords, followed by parallel 9th chords over a dissonant bass; the Caged theme features a recurring Bb-A or Bb-Ab sigh gesture |
