But I don't have anything approximately brilliant. Should I say, "I like it"? That's somehow trivial. Should I say, "I don't like it"? This would not be true. I guess, my conclusion is that I would need more discussion with you to better understand. On the other hand, why do I want to understand. Sound is likely that sort of art that we allow ourseves just to experience. Gathering experience is certainly possible here. I tell you what, now that I have listened a bit longer: sitting at my computer and "listening" is the wrong way of experiencing this machine. It is much more complex than the quick listener allows himself to find interesting. I guess, I like it. It even has surprise, as I just discover.
