Listen to "Once Below a Time" by James B. Pollack. 116 BPM, G major, Ableton Live 9.0.4, 4 Ableton sample references, samples including Motorcycle - As The Rush Comes Full Acappella 2014.wav. "Once Below a Time" 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.
