Music of two qin played together against the wishes of the state

https://youtu.be/whz5rtUk6wM two qi

This is going where can it be found
It cannot be found in the strings or the fingers above them
The fingers above them or with them
The two qin together, almost touching, the fourteen strings
Above the two qin, playing both each within the harboring
of the other,
Moving against all propriety into the ravage of music
Delicate this is centuries old, I will honor it
The music will fold into dishonor into the depth of the
contemporary,
Within and without tuning as if the stress of the sound
modified its ideological reflection of contemporary politics,
governance with unclarified positions on the border of the
music
There are no errors to be sure or errors without errors
That is to say errors that seethe from within that is
The State and the Music of the State and now this music
of the State unbeholden
and I play sound which parts the sky the ratios remains
The sky parts and swallows and now this music of
the parting sky and swallows high above and higher
and now no longer seen and they say
We flee from the earth, the earth is our homeland,
the earth is our mother the earth is our father we are,
O homeland gather up and into empyrean elsewhere travel,
and no farther and no further, and no further and no farther,
this earth, this music without errors of the State unbeholden
and I play sound unbeholding sky and low below and lower
and now no longer seen and they say
the sky is our mother, the sky is our father we are,
O empyrean gather and within the wood of the earth we gather
and gather unbeholden

two qin
