Shuffle and crossfade are off by design.

Fifteen tracks.

Structure

The order behaves like a section drawing.

The opening calibrates hearing.
Pure signal. No surface.

Repetition enters slowly.
Rhythm without direction.

The middle holds pressure.
Nothing peaks.

Toward the end, structure loosens.

Listening Notes

Low volume is recommended.
Detail appears with patience.

Repetition is structural.
If fatigue appears, something failed.
