Here is a modern version of a Mensuration Canon, where the same melody is played simultaneously at different speeds by augmenting or diminishing note values proportionally. In this case, many different rates at the same time. Otherwise, it's just a descending a natural minor scale, played on alternating short and long note values.

That's an interesting statement but I think I understand. It is a very slow burn. But that's the point.
Towards the end It became noise to me.

That extreme dissonance before it finally resolves is very purposeful. You don't have to like it, but that's exactly what he was going for. It should make you extremely uncomfortable before it releases you.
