There is a volume at which this music stops being music and becomes weather, and finding it is most of the point.

Too quiet and it is a nice song with some effects on. Loud enough and the individual parts stop being separable. You cannot pick out the bass, you cannot follow the vocal line, and the whole thing arrives as one texture you are inside rather than several things you are listening to.

I am aware this is a terrible thing to do to my hearing and I have no defence prepared.
