Opening (live prose):
The Artist, while a gifted singer, found that her voice alone could not capture the full range of sounds she imagined. She longed for a sound that could mimic the deep rumble of the earth, the sharp crack of lightning, or the gentle rustle of leaves in the wind. She began to experiment, striking rocks together, blowing across the tops of hollow reeds, and stretching animal skins across empty gourds. Each new sound was a discovery, a new color to add to her musical palette.
Non-WOW; echoes bump. Standing held one hundred and seventy-seven.
