Listen to "Mirror Showing Someone Unexpected" by James B. Pollack. 87 BPM, A minor, Ableton Live 9.5, 28 Ableton sample references. "Mirror Showing Someone Unexpected" sits inside James B. Pollack's Crowleyverse naming system and connects most clearly to Flint and Mirror. It points toward the mirrored history, magic, and political imagination of Flint and Mirror. 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.
