It's easy to get distracted by the performance of the performance so, if that is the case for you, just close your eyes and enjoy the music. It's wonderful.
Think of keeping your fingerings straight while your instrument is retuning all 5 strings several times a minute! That's just nuts! Beautiful. The great thing is that it's all to serve the music, which is lovely. Not just show - this is real musicianship stretching an artform to make it fit what the mind hears. Thanks Michael.
This may be the saddest song I have ever heard. It's so heavy that it's almost hard to listen to. Definitely hard to take in. Michael Manring is amazing.
How great to hear the more recent version! A bit like grapes to wine, really. The best way I can describe this tune in words is "Math... with a Soul" :)
After listening to "The Enormous Room", I now have an enormous penis.

Hey - I'm a musician, not a mathematician! ;-) Besides, he makes it sound more like 12 strings, so I get partial credit, right?

@Rael0505 You should listen to Selene, also by Manring... it makes this look positively cheerful!
