Listen to "Dar Folds His Wings and Falls" by James B. Pollack. 120 BPM, G minor, Ableton Live 9.5, 7 Ableton sample references. "Dar Folds His Wings and Falls" sits inside James B. Pollack's Crowleyverse naming system and connects most clearly to Ka: Dar Oakley in the Ruin of Ymr, Beasts, Little, Big, and Ka. It points toward Dar Oakley, named crowhood, impossible lives and deaths, and repeated descents into the land of the dead and Crowley's recurring animal, bird, and metamorphic imagery. 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.
