II
We Ourselves Are a Kind of Chaos
is not a straight line but a coil.
The sophomore comes first:
unveiled before the beginning,
equal in weight to what follows.
✹
The setting is abstract: suspended between states,
a silhouette partially veiled in darkness,
casting sharp lines that obscure form.
Light cuts across a plain gray background.
The textures deepen with each return.
Written in fragments, breaks, and echoes.
The pieces move through fractured beats, ambient residue, metallic eruptions,
and silence that carries as much weight as sound.
Each track is a blurred photograph that finds clarity only when you stay inside it long enough:
the opening void of Untitled5,
the suspended letter of Dear Unknown,
the fragile bridge of K+S,
the unstable ascent of Transient AB,
the brute clarity inside Increasing Happiness w Scientific Evidence,
the stripped fatigue of Unseen Reality,
and the long-running draft of Thesis.
The unplayed note has become a surgical approach to distortion.
Presented at the autumn equinox 22 September 2025,
and released at the winter solstice 21 December 2025,
We Ourselves Are a Kind of Chaos II begins the three-year coil.
Part I will surface in 2026,
and Part III will close the arc in 2027.
One body unveiled across time.

Vision strikes the field,
dark water breaks into form,
echo spreads outward.
