now..., now...

Does the highlighted sentence mean "the soundtrack, on the whole, gives a feeling of ominous and ridiculous? And is "now..., now.." a known structure"?

Context:

The soundtrack is a disjointed narrative created by a stream of interrupted consciousness which cuts in and out, weaving medieval plainsong into the dark narratives of pulp fiction and film noir, to eighteenth-century historical reference, now charged with a sense of the ominous, now of the ridiculous.
