Composed in digital performer for a course in computer music. Some of the presets reminded me of Kraftwerk, so I thought I'd attempt something in that style. "The doom house" was my sister's nickname for her place of residence at the time.

There's no reason for this to be named after the infamous section of craigslist, beyond the song itself sounding sort of sleazy I guess. The ending isn't meant as political commentary, it's just a funny moment I happened to capture.

I might go back and do an expanded version of this someday. Despite the title, I think it works nicely as an ambient piece.
