Listen to "Dar Oakley Among the Living" by James B. Pollack. 125 BPM, C# major, Ableton Live 9.0.4, 22 Ableton sample references. "Dar Oakley Among the Living" sits inside James B. Pollack's Crowleyverse naming system and connects most clearly to Ka: Dar Oakley in the Ruin of Ymr. It points toward Dar Oakley, named crowhood, impossible lives and deaths, and repeated descents into the land of the dead. 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.
