If I were to guess, you got a new chair, took it on a road trip through the countryside, encountered a troupe of folksingers, notated their singing as Bartok would have, and ended up at some seaside restaurant in time for a colourful sunset while enjoying your meal. That is one way to break in new casters.
Beautiful music!

I had a dear friend, a Mr D'Aragon, who was a real character. He had a huge hi-fi with speakers like wardrobes sitting on casters like scooter wheels. He liked loud, dissonant, motoric orchestral music and we used to sit listening to it together. I had just been reading Aldous Huxley where, under the influence of mescalin, he described a chair taking on the appearance of the last judgement. Those speakers and casters had an identical effect on me without need of chemical influence, to the extent it disturbs me forty years later. Sadly, he died suddenly in 1986, and I still miss him.
Thanks for listening Neil.
