Hi Jeff,

Sorry, just a quick jot...

This is really gorgeous. I hope you'll forgive me comparing it to Rahsaan
Roland Kirk in the throes of a deep depression...or RRK under the influence of
Wayne Shorter?

In any case, I never heard Rahsaan sound less than joyful or ebullient even on
the grimmest of days.

Thanks!

More, please! :-)

A primitive polyphonic double reed instrument plays plaintively,
contemplatively. It is tuned to the 10th root of fifth, which is a nonoctave
tuning. Embellistments on a cymbal set accompanies the soloist.

It is a fire from the night before, the embers crackling as a new day
arrives. The white whisps of smoke mix with the dampness of the early
morning fog. The deep orange and black embers contrast with the orange of
the sun below the horizon, rising, and the black of the sea beneath it.

Comments welcome.
