How Small the World Became

120 BPMA minor1:46Ableton Live 8.3.49 samplesLean Arrangement

Listen to "How Small the World Became" by James B. Pollack. 120 BPM, A minor, Ableton Live 8.3.4, 9 Ableton sample references, samples including calvin_harris_-_feel_so_close_(acapella).mp3. "How Small the World Became" is part of James B. Pollack's Crowleyverse naming system rather than a literal one-to-one citation on this page. The connection is to the way Crowley's fiction handles world-building, layered time, memory, houses, thresholds, and hidden structure. Crowley was Pollack's writing advisor at Yale, so these titles also mark a personal artistic lineage, not only a literary reference.
