Tidal Return

125 BPMA# major0:27Ableton Live 9.16 samplesLean Arrangement

Listen to "Tidal Return" by James B. Pollack. 125 BPM, A# major, Ableton Live 9.1, 6 Ableton sample references. "Tidal Return" 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.
