Purely Refractive

wind blows music into the room. washes of sound and drum patterns fill the space, making it seem larger than it appears to be. as the sound waves bounce around they begin lifting you up in a gentle cradle of refracted frequencies. both alert and relaxed, gently moving to the ebb and flow of rhythms, you start to drift away.
