    It's a dance between two lives, one consistent and one passionate. First alone, but not lacking, just there. Then twirling with utter wholeness with the violins added in. It tells a story if you look at it that way

      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.

      Well, actially, this has been done before. You can even download the code en execute it for yourself. (my advise). 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.)
