    It's a record, but it's square, and it's 8". It's a little quieter than the digital version, and it's mono. It's a different thing but it's cool. Signed and numbered, with transparent inserts in a clear sleeve.

1.
Though initially the thing's capacity to roil and off-gas seemed boundless, it eventually quietened and sat there on the deck like a blank sheet of paper. At this speed, consciousness smeared along space's lower layers in a way that required an n+1 view of things, where n equaled however many dimensions your current understanding of physics entailed. She awoke to find herself encased in elastomers produced by some civilization whose master of biology outpaced their understanding of physics with dire consequences. In a flash they understood that the presence by which they felt haunted was their future self, which had returned so obsessively to this moment in memory that it left a kind of temporal residue. In the end, in turned out not that ghosts were real as much as that everything else was less so.

about

I trained a neural network (my brain) on M. John Harrison's Kefahuchi Tract books and then it spat out these micro-fictions with power ambient backing, without my having asked it to.

Track 1 will also be included in Season 1 of Holly Herndon's Holly+ project.

"His blue eyes were bulging, glassy, and sightless, and the frantic playing had become a blind, mechanical, unrecognisable orgy that no pen could even suggest." — H.P. Lovecraft, The Music of Erich Zann
