Artist commentary for Analemma:

Vast Error ✑

There are many who have designs upon this world And dream of wild and vast reformations I have heard them talking in their sleep Of elegant mutations And cunning annihilations I have heard them whispering in the corners of crooked houses And in the alleys and narrow back streets of this crooked creaking universe Which they, with their new designs, would make straight and sound But each of these new and ill-conceived designs Is deranged in its heart For they see this world as if it were alone and original And not as only one of countless others Whose nightmares all proceed Like a hideous garden grown from a single seed I have heard these dreamers talking in their sleep And I stand waiting for them As at the top of a darkened flight of stairs They know nothing of me And none of the secrets of my special plan While I know every crooked creaking step of theirs

For my next trick, a "one-note" symphony inspired by the nature of Vast Error's solitary universe. It's gone through many cycles with many inhabitants, all playing the same Game in pursuit of a new beginning — while striving to avoid "perfection." It's a cycle that you can chart in the sky. Let's say you were to take a picture of the sun at the same place on Earth, at the same time, every day of the year for a year. The sun would make a lopsided figure-eight pattern — an analemma.

And yes, I made this one in Audacity too.
