A hard glance across this vast chasm
Of a quarter century
You look soft, bent,
Irrelevant
Unspooled,
Wherefore art thou, rage? (you fool),
Face like your father's,
Grim and penitent
Nice shirt, nice tie,
but did you have to forfeit your heart
as recompense?
I will never.
I will burn my soul into 10,000 shades of oblivion and shatter the night
Until all that remains
Is the tattered remnants of a day
Obliterated by a nuclear light
The Future Views the Past:
A look back across an eye-blink
I do miss your face, all angles and broken halos.
You have a daughter now and, oh,
It is a joy, greater than all your rage can fathom.
My friend, you can not know how
The sorrows of life will gather and pool around your
Heart until it suffocates,
So many times
The tissue becomes a scar.
You will.
Only then, in that great empty of suffering
Will you find, (how strange)
That dark, bitter alcove
Has become a vessel
for the light of
love

This album would not have been possible without several people:
George aka "Groovin' in G" whose tutelage, incredible tutorials on Renoise (and music in general), and feedback have been instrumental in getting this thing where it needed to go. Most of all, though, I'm grateful for the great dialogue with someone who has a deep appreciation for music, and the work that goes into making it. A true gem, please consider subscribing to his Patreon: www.patreon.com/groovining/
Patrick aka "Digiphex", whose laconic drawl might lull you into not realizing he's one of the most incredible fonts of IDM knowledge. His work on the Polyend Vordhosbn recreation should be a lesson to anyone interested in this type of music, but his knowledge extends well beyond (in particular, many of his Aphex patches for the TAL-UNO-LX are used here with only minor tweaks). A good person, making good things, please consider checking out his Patreon here: www.patreon.com/Digiphex
Eric M - aka the Broken Cradle: Hey brother! Basically, my twin from another dimension, without your support over the last few years I probably would have just given up. Appreciate you always being there, say thankee! thebrokencradle.bandcamp.com
