Melodies are suggested on multiple layers amongst the frenetic soliloquy. Nowhere is there more than one note at a time but threads wind through in a sometimes lyrical sometimes impressionistic manner.

In the highlands of Madagascar there is a tribe that has rarely been in contact with the outside world known as the Zongoozie. Very little is known about them. Many explorers have gone in search of them but few have returned. It was thought that these explorers were probably victims of cannibalism or offered as sacrifices to whatever god it is that the Zongoozie worship. However recently an explorer unexpectedly reappeared, having been missing for nearly 20 years. He claimed that the Zongoozie were not cannibals, nor did they human sacrifices to their god. "It was nothing like that," he said, "we were just having such a funky time we didn't want to leave. You see, the Zongoozie just jive all day and well into the night. Everything they do revolves around dancing and grooving to funky music and the sacred number 53." On his advice the Madagascar Government passed a law forbidding contact with them for fear that they would be infected by diseases such as smallpox, hepatitis and 12 tone equal temperament.

Can art be about something? Or is it just a story in the eyes of the beholder? Can art be about nothing? As soon as it is beheld it is given meaning.
