2022: the metal lid falls from the rice jar cascading accelerando across the wooden floor
it’s that intro to Karma Chameleon by Culture Club (1983)
2019: the lift at work plays leggero with the first two notes of Claire de Lune by Claude Debussy (1905)
I rhapsody all the way to the eighth floor
2010: the lift on ocean liner Queen Mary 2 plays the first three notes from When Love Takes Over by David Guetta ft. Kelly Rowland (2009)
I sing it da capo for at least half an hour
2002: my home printer orchestrates rhythmic, just like a sampled riff from Chic on Lady (Hear Me Tonight) by Modjo (2000). I dance andante every time I need a printout. When I listen to Soup For One by Chic from 1982, I taste the fermata tang of printer ink in my mouth.
da coda: singing and dancing forms da capo in the brain, without the brain it cannot be conceived in the body legato
we are as made of music as we are makers
