Listen to "Black Mirror of Doctor Dee" by James B. Pollack. 128 BPM, C minor, Ableton Live 9.1, 5 Ableton sample references. "Black Mirror of Doctor Dee" sits inside James B. Pollack's Crowleyverse naming system and connects most clearly to Flint and Mirror and Aegypt sequence. It points toward the mirrored history, magic, and political imagination of Flint and Mirror and Pierce Moffett, Faraway Hills, Hermetic history, John Dee, Giordano Bruno, alchemy, memory, and nested manuscript worlds. 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.
