Listen to "Cards Face Up on the Table" by James B. Pollack. 138 BPM, F major, Ableton Live 9.0.3b3, 3 Ableton sample references. "Cards Face Up on the Table" sits inside James B. Pollack's Crowleyverse naming system and connects most clearly to Little, Big and Aegypt sequence. It points toward calendar magic, seasonal recurrence, and symbolic systems. The source connection is literary and thematic rather than an official adaptation: John Crowley was Pollack's writing advisor at Yale, and the title system treats the catalog as a set of linked rooms inside that influence.
