The audio begins with the soothing, rich hum of a viola. There's a slow, pulsating rhythm to it - a heartbeat in aural form. Suddenly, the rhythm changes and the sound of a glissando takes over, a musical gesture that represents transformation. The glissando on the viola is a cascading waterfall of sound, a swift sweeping motion that creates a wave of music, flowing from high to low in a smooth, seamless transition. It is as if the viola is morphing, transforming from one musical identity to another. The music paints a picture of change, of evolution, of transformation, all through the medium of a single stringed instrument. The glissando on the viola ends as abruptly as it began, leaving behind a lingering echo of the beautiful transformation that just occurred.
