“Not at all – we get many
first-timers here and I'm happy to explain. This instrument has been
designed to emit subsonic frequencies that stimulate parts of the
brain and evoke certain moods and images. For example, if I may, this
is a simple melody called 'Sunset at Beach'.”

“Oh!”
“Oh, that is lovely.”
“Thank you. Here is a list of songs I
can perform, if you so wish. Note that these are full songs,
carefully crafted for a rich and vivid experience.”
“Hmm. 'Road Trip Through Mountains in
Autumn'. 'Surfing, Party, Bonfire'. 'Chateau After Skiing'.”
“Wait, wait. Dear - 'Picnic in Park,
Interrupted by Thunderstorm'.”
“What? Are you kidding?”
“It's like when he proposed. We'll
hear that one.”
“Excellent.”
“Can I ask you though, will there be
a lake?”
“Ah, I believe you will perceive just
a small pond.”
“Could you add a lake?”
“Unfortunately I cannot take
requests. The complexity of these songs make improvisations nearly
impossible.”
“Really? You seem quite competent,
and I'm betting you have aspirations of being a songwriter. Couldn't
you at least give it a try? I can make it worth your while.”
“I really shouldn't, but it's such a
slight change... Yes, I believe I
can do it. If you insist.”
“Proceed,
then, Maestro.”
♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫
“Astounding.”
“Wonderful.”
“Truly amazing. The lake and
everything. Genius.”
“You are too kind.”
“I have to ask though, why the dog?
“Dog?”
“There was a dog in your song. A
stray dog.”
“It was running around like crazy.”
“Yes, ran by, snatched some fried
chicken right out of my hand!”
“I am so sorry. Obviously I made an
error.”
“Well, no matter. It was a beautiful
song.”
“It was. I loved it.”
“Thank you. And sorry for the
mistake.”
“Think nothing of it.”
“Please enjoy the rest of your
evening.”
“Thank you.”
“Goodbye.”
“Goodbye.”
“Did you see anything?”
“Not really.”
“Me neither. Sometimes I wonder about
this place.”
