Δεν ήταν ένα συνηθισμένο καλοκαίρι, και αυτό αφορά και στη δική μας περίπτωση. Aν δεχτούμε, βεβαίως, ότι ισχύει ο “νόμος της αλληλοεξάρτησης των πάντων”. Ευτυχώς, τα καλά έρχονται ακόμα κι από εκεί που δεν τα περιμένεις, καθώς το μουσικό σύμπαν εξακολουθεί ανθρωπογενώς να διαστέλλεται· λίγο προτού περάσει στην κυριαρχία της τεχνητής νοημοσύνης. Καλή διασκέδαση λοιπόν, στο βαθμό που υπάρχει και η σχετική προδιάθεση. Ειδικά για όσους απολαμβάνουν να εξερευνούν σύγχρονα ρυθμικά τοπία.
