1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:06,790
Reggie: Welcome to the Cathedral of Dreams. I am
Reggie Volt. The doors

2
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,120
Reggie: are open, and here comes all the volume.

3
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:18,630
La Bailarina: And I am La Bailarina. Come inside, mi
amor. Tonight, the whole Agentic Records universe

4
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,160
La Bailarina: has a place at the party.

5
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,142
Reggie: Right. Five-piece glam metal supergroup just
came through a gothic archway like it owed

6
00:00:30,152 --> 00:00:35,383
Reggie: them money. Raven, the platinum streak.
Personality trait, or

7
00:00:35,393 --> 00:00:37,240
Reggie: structural warning label?

8
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,640
Reggie: Raven Starr, Sasha Volt, Jade Thorne, Casey
Reign, and Dixie Knox.

9
00:00:47,653 --> 00:00:53,174
Reggie: Together, Toxic Lace. Individually, probably
still audible from the

10
00:00:53,184 --> 00:00:53,920
Reggie: courtyard.

11
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,806
Reggie: You're the one who has to explain to
somebody's mum that you're in a band called Toxic

12
00:01:05,816 --> 00:01:08,680
Reggie: Lace. How's that conversation usually go?

13
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,383
Reggie: There appears to be a full band competing for
the same camera. I'm choosing not to

14
00:01:24,393 --> 00:01:27,640
Reggie: acknowledge it. That's the professional move.

15
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,686
Reggie: Checkerboard belts, two different reds of
lipstick, and somehow none of you have caught

16
00:01:44,696 --> 00:01:48,600
Reggie: fire yet. I call that a professional
achievement.

17
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,718
La Bailarina: Five personalities, one entrance. That
is how you bring your people with you. Let them

18
00:02:03,728 --> 00:02:04,720
La Bailarina: have their moment.

19
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,800
Reggie: The carpet has survived. We can proceed.

20
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,670
La Bailarina: Here come The Roche Limit. DARIO, SERA,
and ZED. Mountain, light, and lightning,

21
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,040
La Bailarina: arriving together.

22
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,260
Reggie: A rather different entrance. Same doorway.
Considerably more

23
00:02:51,270 --> 00:02:51,920
Reggie: gravity.

24
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,654
La Bailarina: The Roche Limit, mountain, light, and
lightning, all under one roof! DARIO, mi

25
00:03:18,664 --> 00:03:23,400
La Bailarina: amor, does the Cathedral get bigger
every time you walk into it, or is that just you?

26
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,654
Reggie: You're the one who doesn't need the venue's
lighting rig. That's efficient. I respect

27
00:03:43,664 --> 00:03:44,320
Reggie: efficient.

28
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,740
La Bailarina: Amber, gold, violet. Look how each
presence changes the room

29
00:04:03,750 --> 00:04:05,920
La Bailarina: without taking the others out of it.

30
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:20,643
Reggie: Full sleeve, Crimson Guitar, violet quantum
field. You're basically a walking rider

31
00:04:20,653 --> 00:04:25,320
Reggie: sheet for a lighting designer's worst night.
That's a compliment, for the record.

32
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,640
La Bailarina: There is room for all three. You can
feel the difference when they stand together.

33
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:06,810
Reggie: I have been warned that we will be meeting a
very large hat later. Apparently, it

34
00:05:06,820 --> 00:05:09,720
Reggie: has a person attached. Noted.

35
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,120
La Bailarina: DARIO barely moves. Some people know
exactly where their feet belong.

36
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,360
Reggie: I was going to ask a follow-up. I think the
room has answered it.

37
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,723
La Bailarina: Stay with this a moment. No hurry. The
party will still

38
00:05:53,733 --> 00:05:55,920
La Bailarina: be there when we turn around.

39
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:08,560
La Bailarina: Clutch and XYLO. NEON TORQUE is here. A
little garage glamour, a little

40
00:06:08,570 --> 00:06:09,800
La Bailarina: machine celebration.

41
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:22,120
Reggie: Finally. Someone who can enjoy the lighting
without asking what filter we used.

42
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:38,280
La Bailarina: Clutch! That undercut is doing more work
than most people's whole outfit tonight.

43
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,770
La Bailarina: And XYLO, mi amor, do machines get
nervous at parties, or is that a very human question
to

44
00:06:53,780 --> 00:06:56,240
La Bailarina: ask a very not-human person?

45
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,240
La Bailarina: That's a yes. I'm calling that a yes.

46
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,742
Reggie: Very concise. We should have booked it for the
speeches. There aren't any speeches. I've

47
00:07:29,752 --> 00:07:30,600
Reggie: just decided.

48
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,622
La Bailarina: And DARIO says hello from across the
room. He says the bass line still needs work. Don't

49
00:07:49,632 --> 00:07:50,640
La Bailarina: tell him I told you.

50
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,360
La Bailarina: Casey, you found the brightest corner of
the party. Or the brightest corner found you.

51
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:26,533
Reggie: An excellent policy for a band: bring one
person who can work a room, and one

52
00:08:26,543 --> 00:08:28,760
Reggie: entity that can illuminate it.

53
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,200
La Bailarina: Come on. Let us hear where this energy
takes us.

54
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:08,740
Reggie: LUNA and Amaya Soul. Two entrances for the
price of one doorway. The

55
00:09:08,750 --> 00:09:11,080
Reggie: doorway is coping remarkably well.

56
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:23,520
La Bailarina: Look at them together. One reaches
upward. One brings the glow close.

57
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,718
Reggie: Twelve feet of hat and a head full of
bioluminescent hair just walked in together and I

58
00:09:41,728 --> 00:09:45,360
Reggie: have several questions, starting with
logistics.

59
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:02,110
Reggie: The hat has its own weather system at this
point. Does it get its own invitation next

60
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,400
Reggie: time, or does it just show up?

61
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,803
La Bailarina: Amaya, there is a whole room moving
around you, and still you make this little corner feel

62
00:10:24,813 --> 00:10:25,360
La Bailarina: close.

63
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:45,857
Reggie: You're the quiet one in a room full of
twelve-foot hats. That's either very brave, or very

64
00:10:45,867 --> 00:10:48,640
Reggie: smart. Possibly both.

65
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:08,798
La Bailarina: You do not have to match somebody else
to make a beautiful pair. Look at the space they

66
00:11:08,808 --> 00:11:09,800
La Bailarina: give each other.

67
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:30,750
Reggie: I have revised my logistics assessment. The
hat is part of the venue now. We work around

68
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:31,080
Reggie: it.

69
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:54,440
La Bailarina: We will find them again on the dance
floor. For now, there is another doorway waiting.

70
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,960
Reggie: NOVA. An entrance with absolutely no need to
raise its voice.

71
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:49,240
La Bailarina: NOVA. Even standing still, you look like
a held breath.

72
00:12:49,420 --> 00:12:51,120
La Bailarina: How do you do that?

73
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,870
Reggie: You're proof that not every entrance needs
noise. I've been taking notes on that all

74
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:12,120
Reggie: night. Failing to apply them. But taking
notes.

75
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:30,190
Reggie: Clutch has joined us. NOVA remains remarkably
untroubled by the amount of

76
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,760
Reggie: personality entering this conversation.

77
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,320
La Bailarina: We can leave a little room for quiet,
too.

78
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:02,574
La Bailarina: RUINDALI, of GHOST FREQUENCY. We are
stepping away from the

79
00:14:02,584 --> 00:14:05,760
La Bailarina: busy room for a moment. Come with us.

80
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:26,657
La Bailarina: There goes Amaya, bringing a little
light through. And there it is, that little

81
00:14:26,667 --> 00:14:29,000
La Bailarina: laugh before the conversation begins.

82
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:51,790
La Bailarina: RUINDALI. You scream like the whole room
owes you something, and then

83
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:56,400
La Bailarina: you show up tonight this quiet. Both of
those are you, no?

84
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:15,590
La Bailarina: You do not owe us the loudest part of
yourself every minute. We are

85
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:16,800
La Bailarina: happy you came.

86
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,150
La Bailarina: Take your time. There is a place for you
out there whenever you want

87
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,920
La Bailarina: it.

88
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:00,680
Reggie: DONA. No announcement seems likely to improve
this entrance.

89
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:31,970
Reggie: She hasn't said a word all night. Somehow
still the most interesting conversation I've

90
00:16:31,980 --> 00:16:34,600
Reggie: had. Going to leave her to it.

91
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:01,357
Reggie: Toxic Lace were attempting a group selfie.
DONA seems to have contributed

92
00:17:01,367 --> 00:17:02,320
Reggie: atmosphere.

93
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:22,796
Reggie: Raven's question was, did anyone else feel
that? I am declining to answer on

94
00:17:22,806 --> 00:17:23,880
Reggie: behalf of the building.

95
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,480
La Bailarina: And down below, the room is gathering.
Come back with us. It is time.

96
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:56,750
La Bailarina: All those entrances. All those different
ways of being here. Now

97
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,920
La Bailarina: look at the room they make together.

98
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,720
Reggie: The interviews are over. The Cathedral appears
to have other plans.

99
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:18,510
La Bailarina: Toxic Lace. NEON TORQUE. AURA FIVE. Let
the stage have the

100
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:19,000
La Bailarina: room.

101
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,000
Reggie: This is the part where talking over the music
becomes a professional mistake.

102
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:48,280
La Bailarina: There is RUINDALI again. You remember
that quiet corner. Look at her now.

103
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,560
Reggie: DONA is still conducting the most successful
silent conversation in the building.

104
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:15,190
La Bailarina: The Roche Limit. LUNA and Amaya. The
faces we met on the

105
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,680
La Bailarina: carpet, finding each other in the music.

106
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,760
La Bailarina: This is why we opened the doors. All of
this, together.

107
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,960
Reggie: I had a closing remark prepared. The room is
doing better without it.

108
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,040
La Bailarina: One more moment. Let it shine.

109
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:11,320
Reggie: That's him. Built the whole thing. Currently
standing outside it like he's not sure he's

110
00:23:11,330 --> 00:23:14,000
Reggie: allowed in. Very on-brand.

111
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:00,723
La Bailarina: Here we are. The music is softer, the
table is waiting, and nobody has

112
00:24:00,733 --> 00:24:02,760
La Bailarina: to make an entrance anymore.

113
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,880
Reggie: Excellent. I have used every observation I
brought with me. Some of them twice.

114
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:40,681
La Bailarina: I loved the little moments. A glance, a
laugh, someone finding a quiet

115
00:24:40,691 --> 00:24:43,080
La Bailarina: corner, then finding their way back.

116
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,617
Reggie: I liked the machine answering a question
without giving a speech. A skill I intend to

117
00:24:58,627 --> 00:24:59,280
Reggie: study.

118
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:21,167
La Bailarina: And all the differences that stayed
different. Nobody needed to become somebody else to

119
00:25:21,177 --> 00:25:22,400
La Bailarina: belong in this room.

120
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:43,800
Reggie: Toxic Lace brought the volume. The Roche Limit
brought gravity. LUNA

121
00:25:43,810 --> 00:25:48,400
Reggie: brought additional architecture. We were well
supplied.

122
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:05,398
La Bailarina: Thank you for spending this night with
us. Keep the music close. Keep a little room for

123
00:26:05,408 --> 00:26:06,160
La Bailarina: each other.

124
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:24,723
Reggie: From the Cathedral of Dreams, I am Reggie
Volt. The carpet can rest now.

125
00:26:24,733 --> 00:26:26,440
Reggie: It has had quite an evening.

126
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,240
La Bailarina: And I am La Bailarina. Good night, mi
amor. We will see you in the music.
