There are certain pieces of music that trigger a person’s opiate receptors–– a channel opened–– only they can hear. For me, the performance of, In this Shirt by The Irrepressibles is just that… This performance is a collision of art and music, together of which are greater than the sum of its parts. This combination or artistic expression transcends space and time–– they do not merely coexist–– they intertwine, amplifying each other in a way that is both emerssive and transformative. This entanglement of color, vibrates like a chord creating a cosmic symphony where every living being, regardless of their location and form throughout the universe, perceives this moment in unison; sparking, perhaps, a universal consciousness, if even for a nanosecond.

Yes… I loved it.

And it continues to vibrate within me long after the last note has evaporated. It is what inspires me, it’s what I see and hear when I write. In my current Work In Progress, SIlversides, there is a scene on a distant planet (Dykazza), in a bar (The Ghraah), where musicians have instruments that are a blend of nature and vibrations. It is one of my favorite scenes.
