Listen to "Two Histories Refusing to Agree" by James B. Pollack. 125 BPM, C# major, Ableton Live 9.0.4, 3 Ableton sample references. "Two Histories Refusing to Agree" 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.
