Kronos Quartet: Electric Counterpoint

I have always liked KQ, but this song in particular makes me realize how much music and emotion are tied together. Music is truly the expression of the soul, and this piece is a perfect example.

At once it has the complexity of emotion: never simple or singular, but a lifetime of memories, associations and perception that affect our every thought.

Less about actual music, Electric Counterpoint is more about a resonance of two or more feelings playing for the same attention.
