Listen to "Smoke Rings on the Porch" by James B. Pollack. 128 BPM, C minor, Ableton Live 9.0.3b2, 0 Ableton sample references. "Smoke Rings on the Porch" sits inside James B. Pollack's Crowleyverse naming system and connects most clearly to Little, Big. It points toward Edgewood as a many-housed house on the magical border of an otherworld. 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.
