Untitled Ending #99. A narrative form, the strongest pull. The ultimate means to an ultimate end, at the beginning, sitting in the wrong seat. Needing maximalist effort and every stop full.
This Diamond. Walls and panels, plucking in choir. Screaming and harmonizing. Droning, even.
Nowhere Radiating; Opposite The Season. Originally acoustic movements, now digitized. A train in the winter, a siren of sirens.
Reprise. The inversion of the first statement, condensed and alone.
You Could Have Everything You Ever Wanted. Messed around in company, expanded and ballooned. Roots attempted, the only rhythm. The only lowest fi.

The gear I listed isn't to worship or lionize manufacturers, but to show the tools I use, which are not complicated nor are they exclusive. And to have some weird sort of transparency, I guess.
I’d like to thank everyone who was listening to these tracks as they were being developed, and my cat Balto, AKA Stink Man.
