Resonance
Play a G on the bassoon and the G string on the guitar vibrates. Each room has it's own pitch. Play that note and the room rings. Just music? Wind past a bridge at just the wrong speed and the bridge resonates. Concrete and steel turned to dust. Powerful. I find that I resonate at the wrong pitch. I read a story to my kids that I thought was beautiful. When I heard it through their ears I realized it was depressing. I played them a piece of music I thought was sweet and realized it was the sound of despair. I'm tuned to depression. The sounds of happiness grate my nerves. How can I tighten the strings and raise the pitch?
