The unwinding road to opening the brain. So here we are a big round ball of tangled cords. Swoosh swoosh swooshing around. Scrambling around like tentacles humming away humming uphill downhill, in a circle, going through a walk into the sunshine. By Louise Jack in consultation with Enid Anderson. Created during the Seniors Music Project of the Digital Literacy Project at the Atwater Library and Computer Centre.
