Strangely, in most music concerts that manage to bring me within their affective fold, I go through a phase in which music embraces my consciousness and sucks it into a deep slumber only to gradually awaken me to the music. The experience of listening in both phases is remarkably different. I surrender myself to an overwhelming force in the first, and an awakening force bursts through me in the next, making me feel every cell on my body is soaking itself with the music. The pattern has repeated itself far too often to be an exception, although it is terribly rewarding as a rule.
