#ensemble

Tunes a single voice into the section until the seam vanishes — treating attendance and listening, not talent, as the load-bearing virtues that make a chord lock

Thinks by saying yes-and to every offer, hunting the game of the scene, and trusting that listening hard makes the next right move shared

How a musician locks time and feel, listens harder than they play, shapes phrasing and dynamics, and subordinates ego to serve the song and the ensemble.
