The colours spoke to him, shimmering like a portal to another world.
In his mind, the meaning of Art combined, connected like the pieces to a jigsaw puzzle.
He sits down at the piano and begins to play.

Leon Artisté is in the Zone. No, beyond that. He is channeling the Divine Energy, [Flow State]…
It was after hearing that voice, seeing that presence on the stage… that was when he had an epiphany… but he had to be sure.
This was why he had gone up to the stage, to imagine the possibilities… !!!
Yes… enveloped in inspiration... he could hear it. He could see it… It was all coming to him!

The beautiful songstress intends to leave, to ignore him, but as the music begins to play, brilliant, authentic, never-before-heard progressions and colours, she begins to find herself drawn into an unbelievable, never before experienced world of feelings, light, shade, colour, and emotions…
He plays with a tenderness, a softness, a genuineness that is striking.
Still… whatever.
She makes to leave, but as she is gathering her things, suddenly a voice calls out:
"Wait…"

It turns out that Leon had indeed been mesmerised, and wanted to see if it might be possible for them to work together…
"Well…
I guess he's not so bad after all…"
Angel thought to herself.
"Humph. Let's see…"

*A few weeks later*
The voice, pure, clear, soars high above the warm supporting colours that Leon is crafting.
Natural, and yet, celestial, the feeling is inexplicable. As the voice rises and falls, Leon's world is transformed, like a dream made real.
The harmonies enrich and support and allow the singer endless freedom, whilst the voice sharpens and directs the music from something extra, to something truly extraordinary.
Like black and white animation transformed into colour… Was this what it meant to truly be alive, to truly… live?!
For the few people in that room that were privileged to listen, their lives were irrevocably transformed.

The music ends in a swirl of color, one last long glorious note that fades into the aether, and there is silence.
Then the cheers. The applause.
It is an awe-inspiring feeling, a sense of connection, through the music, everyone has experienced something beyond words, something that has changed them for the better…
___
This… was the power of Music. The power of creativity. The power of Art!!!
