Yes, 'The candidate supplied a CDR with a number of indentations in it.
These were duly transcoded to ones and zeros which were converted to a
signal that moved a loudspeaker cone and shifted a number of molecules.
I placed my head in the way (unfortunately) and these molecules hit my
eardrum forcing the inner ear to move and set up a periodic wave in a
liquid inside my ear. Hair cells fired in accordance with the time and
place theory and sent electrical signals to my brain which made an
attempt to assimilate the signals, tapping into past, stored listening
experiences - whilst multitasking sufficiently to keep me alive during
this time. I did not assimilate sufficiently in accordance with your
expectation of my assimilation and suggest that you have suspended the
achievement of your potential to engage my assimilation to a future
date. 54.'
I don't mention music or musicality in student feedback anymore.
Adrian.
