{Can I get a t-shirt please?}
A few unique things about this piece:
- Extremely fast tempos
- Extremely close canons
- Extremely circusey atmosphere
Brandon, Alicia, Evan, Gregory, James,
and conductor (etc.) Thomas Ades
were extremely excellent performance partners
and the process was totally pleasurable
in a lets-conquer-this-piece-of-ridiculousness way.
{one wishes one could string words together to make new words}

I just wish I didn't have a minor
aneurysm
while trying to navigate the

This is totally a piece I love listening to:
get lost in it's echoes,
visualize the merry-go-round

But I'm not sure my blood pressure could stand repeat performances -
not that I'd say no to doing it again;
I'd just have a medical professional on hand.
Afterwards, I had a shot of Jack.
