I’M HERE IN A CHAIR AMONG THE MANY LINED UP IN THIS LARGE HALL.
IN FRONT OF ME, FAR AWAY, ABOUT ONE METRE HIGHER, ARE 50-60 PEOPLE DRESSED IN BLACK.
EACH ONE IS PLAYING A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT.
THEIR COLLECTIVE PLAYING IS ORGANISED.
SHEET MUSIC OPEN IN FRONT OF EACH MUSICIAN GIVES DIRECTIONS.
A MAN STANDING IN THE CENTRE, 30 CM HIGHER, MAKES GESTURES THAT SET THE RHYTHM.

MUSIC.
WHY ALL THIS?
