The music rises around me, filling my heart, my soul. About the hall people respond. We are like cells in a giant body - a thousand limbs, a thousand eyes; but only one body, one soul. Life within life, we dance together.

My senses are overwhelmed. Time and space compress so I experience one moment stretching to infinity. Notes become colours. Colours become taste. My body explodes in synesthetic pleasure.

I reach out to the person next to me, to share my joy and to share in theirs. We touch. We laugh. We cry. We separate.

And then the bass hits.
