Perfect accompaniment to cutting dense foam with electric knife, which I’m doing.

that was the intended activity I think when they composed the piece

I’ve never imagined rubbing together the words percussion, er…and yin yang, but have now.

Thanks to you

dense foam = my brain

Accepted, with apologies to both ears

The Zappa track will be palett cleansing radish
