Upon the Curvature of a Hill 55:55

about

"Upon the curvature of a hill
Grass to heel, ranges glimpsed
The glimmer of a sword like a noonday star
That guides the praying hands of a king"

Arranged in two sessions: the first in September in a more wild and raw form, exploring feedback arrays within a pin matrix, and the second in December, late on the eve of my eighteenth wedding anniversary, stoned and warm, bathing in loops. The poem was brought to mind as the loops persisted, forming shapes and vistas in my greened mind, despite it being written without a title or a purpose as far back as January 2021. More and more, it feels as if parts of my thinking are only fragments of creative work that cannot make sense until a certain amount of time has passed, awaiting their true contexts, while I ponder them from the outside like dreamt-up secrets, messages from and to someone else, absorbed temporarily in the jumble of my brain by some undefined body capacitance.

I've read through the description of this album several times, and I'm still not sure how this was made. But I suppose I don't need to know how when the results are so damn beautiful. The Liminal, The Transgressive, and The Divine are haunting; almost like the other side of The Forgotten; like you're stuck in between the past and the future, and you desperately want to get out. Speaking of The Forgotten: Wow. Just wow. It's, without a doubt, one of the best ambient songs I've ever listened to. furrybeans
