The Soul selects her own society,
then
Shuts the door.

Nag Kanta Para sa Dios.
What occurs in the karaoke-interior changes the quality of sound and experience all together. Karaoke (empty-orchestra) as cultural apparatus; to view what surrounds the machine, a center that collects an audience to reflect back on itself. How many voices have entered and left the moment through subjective relation to the song? By singing, one's job, occupation, etc. is projected into the means (karaoke) and released back into the environment which supplies and prolongs it. The kitschy background also contributes to temporal hope and execution of stress in that it has no cultural relevance to the environment whatsoever; it passively supports the exterior and stimulates the singer/viewer to sing out what hasn't been fulfilled or desires to. Its temporality can motivate the release of pressures or accumulate them; either way, its limitation doesn't exceed what it 'serves'--to 'gather people together' in the form of an 'empty orchestra' where no one is listening but those that equally participate in a neutral form which mirrors the environment through sound.
