      Think of yourself as a lone cloud. Sure, you end up leaking out all the substance within you, but you also are able to slowly regain it again. In time, you will fill full again, only to repeat the cycle. Find solace in knowing that each phase is only temporary.

It eunfolds it`s beauty, when the code is calculated in real time and your screen gives you the most of it, without any encoding related rediction on sound and video. (Go at least, for 1080 resolution anything else spoils so much of it. Execute it yourself, if your maschine can take it.)

      It's a special kind of sadness which isn't that sad.
      The sadness is caused by our (illusional?) feeling of beeing seperated from (our own) divinity.
      It's amongst the highest, purest songs I know of.
      So in the end it's not sad at all. It's unspeakable good piece of music.
