such a beautiful instrument, such resonance! i felt i was barely
hanging on to the music which sounded through me - i didn't know
how or where i was - there were soundings - there was sound - it
continued - so many scales - resting tones - so much control - -
movement of the arms - hands - fingers - the music curled around
me - curled through me -

then - post production - inverted dynamics - muffling the beauty
- it tries to escape - seep out - it upwells - it's lost - it's
still there - attempts to rise - you can hear the dark breathing
of the world under pressure - the body's pounding - inescapable
- all of this - the wood in agony - torn dynamics - anthems -
more anthems -

"there's still plenty of time for the u.s." - trailing 1-0 costa
rica - already lost to mexico 2-1 -
