Listen to "How the Crow Got Its Name" by James B. Pollack. 128 BPM, A minor, Ableton Live 9.0.3b5, 4 Ableton sample references. "How the Crow Got Its Name" sits inside James B. Pollack's Crowleyverse naming system and connects most clearly to Ka: Dar Oakley in the Ruin of Ymr. It points toward Ka as the crow realm and a bird-haunted meditation on memory, death, and storytelling. 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.
