It felt like I was talking with them”. • “Happened to see end of Austin City Limits on PBS with Kat Edmondson, who I'd never heard of; her voice and the instruments were so clear and distinct and 'real' and 'present'; I was able to think how I was experiencing presence as I was experiencing it, very '2-track'...” • “Was listening to music, felt like I was next to the person performing”.
