While writing this piece, I stumbled upon a short article written by Laurence Hobgood that explained his thoughts on why music works.  This was a 'light bulb' moment for me:  

“ The sound of music reveals a moment where the infinitely complex 'warp and woof' of vibrational reality has clarity and definition....It is no wonder we're drawn to music as a moth to a flame; in the uncertain confusion that is life, anything that contains an instant nucleus of coherence is bound to be extremely compelling.”

I entitled the tune "WARP n WOOF" This version is conceptual only  -  a more dynamic arrangement is performed by The JaimZ Project.
