Fish Duet

 

Silky blackish red carp on a white backdrop
While electricity is transmitted tinglingly

 

Following the first beat of the first bar puffed in, jazz style dissonance progresses swimmingly. The violin’s high-pitched notes are swept up by the waves nibbling gently in whispers. I can’t resist the gloomy fishtailing style of my carp.  

 

While knees buckle in all directions
Silky blackish red carp on a white backdrop
