This is for Paul, who waited a very long time for me to build a remix for him. If he hadn't held the door open so long, I may not have found my footing to build all of this. The opening loop has been respectfully sampled from his sound library.

Pepper had been a long way from home before, but not until now had she ever felt quite as lost as she was, held in a liminal moment between past and present, as the Time Forest oscillated around her.

Blue of Flower

Just bluish ash, is all that remains now of the flower in the convector. Looking at it from the corner of your eye, it seems to glimmer with little flecks of gold, echoes of its transportative magic.

A real juicy fruit, and that bass in five doesn't feel like five.

Eudian Proxemics
06:21

|

Trainspotters may like to know what the trick to this one is: The bassline you hear has been written to repeat after 4 and 7/8 bars. This means that as the other elements in the track recur on the bar line in 4/4, the bassline never plays over those elements the same way a single time in the entirety of the track. In fact, the moment when the bassline *would* start again in the place it began is the moment the bassline ends the song. This was a challenge I gave myself for a long time, never quite succeeding, to write a song with verse/chorus type chord changes but with one bassline throughout that never recurs. After years of attempts, 'Eudian Proxemics' materialized from thin air in about two hours. It is both the simplest composition on the album and, for me, one of the most profound I've ever had the pleasure to write.

Tan Relio
08:42
|
|
||
A strange glowing book, stolen from the Library of Babel, that bears the name "Tan Relio" on the worn leather binding. The pages are a dull blue color, and feel more like cloth than paper. They display maps of landmasses not seen on any globe or atlas I've studied before, and all of the text in the book reads as gibberish - a cipher, certainly, rather than a language of any kind - although it is punctuated by a number of recurring symbols, circles and squares with different types of inner markings.

Nodens Monolith
05:56
|
|
||
Somewhere, on a Celtic shore, an ageless ruin still stands in the shade of a green grove, still close enough to the sea to glimpse the waves and hear their noise, but hidden enough to remain unmapped. An inscription on a stone plinth there reads: "Devo Nodenti Silvianus anilum perdedit demediam partem donavit Nodenti inter quibus nomen Seniciani nollis petmittas sanitatem donec perferat usque templum Nodentis. Rediviva."

Echogee

|
|

Further into the secluded wood, the sun dapples through the leafy canopy and draws orange ribbons playfully across the forest floor. A gentle deer stands serenely nearby, its soft and sleek fur a velvety royal blue, regarding the sun as a timekeeper, announcing the arrival of an old friend.
