Sound and Rhythm

Others rely on talent to sing, but he relies on leakage. Yin Yu has absolute pitch, incomplete vocal cord closure, broken high notes, long broken sounds, and turns into an audiovisual robot. The music teacher said it was "a precious violin with only one string." But there is a song hidden in this leaky gap that no one else can hear. For fifteen years it has been circulating in my head, without title or author. Every time he hummed, the surrounding sounds would "break" - until that day, he hummed eight bars in an empty classroom. Three seconds. Dust is suspended, the glass is cracked, and the voice-activated lights in the corridor are all on. Only then did he realize that there was an unknown dimension hidden in this world that he didn't understand. Others rely on talent to sing, but he relies on leakage.
