having been worked myself up into a tense ball of aggravation after doing my taxes, i just went for a little drive and listened to a mix my brother made...

this drum 'n bass tune by Lemon D came on and all of a sudden, i melted. the music made me feel much better...

it amazes me how a pattern of beats and melodic tones, not even including any voice or words, can bring about total changes of emotion and mental state. music is a drug. sound has this alchemical power...

...but so does all art. visual, tactical, kinesthetic, experiential. so does one's environment. so does the people surrounding one. so does "energy" and "vibe" and "atmosphere"...

the cause-and-effect of being alive on planet earth -- i'm forever fascinated by it...
