How to Build a Memory Palace

Listen to "How to Build a Memory Palace" by James B. Pollack. 128 BPM, C major, Ableton Live 9.0.4, 15 Ableton sample references. "How to Build a Memory Palace" sits inside James B. Pollack's Crowleyverse naming system and connects most clearly to Aegypt sequence, Little, Big, and Ka. It points toward Pierce Moffett, Faraway Hills, Hermetic history, John Dee, Giordano Bruno, alchemy, memory, and nested manuscript worlds and memory, layered time, and stories moving across generations. 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.
