mt. coolum 06:59
try to reconcile a future to grow into to hold you in the spring and then to stand alone in winter memory of descent is ringing, wraps around in gusts of water finds me smaller in the tower, looking over creek and quota recollection of something distant determination of travellers at dawn something that i don't dare climb to see something vitreous spends time cooling down don't you lose your head now don't you stare back from the ocean to watch your body mourning watch your shoulders burning in the sun for no one backing off the untouched dune a rolling field of fingers blows to picture arbitrary nature of my interest a casuarina bowing bending in the salt and swelter whispering to no one near it wishing just to come much closer time consolidating a person i grow into wounds and wisdoms, visions and the keepsakes you take with you don't you lose your head now for no one

greenhouse 02:19
in your domain i become a dull knife i can hardly bear to feel the time pass waiting here and cursing at the ceiling and as sure as killing do you know you're taking my life trickles blazing hot and silent glass in arches panes in rows sunlight slipping down to sear me where i languish down below am i a bad, bad seed? i do yet carry every season's yield in me on fate's transcendent bounty roams the lurid louse let me out let me out let me out of the greenhouse let me out let me out let me out of the greenhouse

i'm opening with a knife letters from your afterlife it opens me and not much like a flower spilling out the mystery of my strife the dirt in my middle is dark and alive pour it out thickly in rows to grow chives finish and leave here, my waters will rise recall my expression, i won't ask you twice it seems when i call for you someone else shows and recollection fails for it's not fair to do so soul changes, moon phases, the ocean decreases birthday cake for one in so many pieces the dirt in my middle is dark and alive out on the nearshore i wait on the tide despite the world's willing, my waters will rise recall my expression, i won't ask you twice

overcast 05:56
yours and my peculiar predilections for moody skies and morning sun subdued the question of the quiet and the quantum the world in lull that finds itself renewed pulling up a blanket just to whisper until the moon/noon pervades to filter through caught between your fingers all the secrets of my soul that still drifts in the overcast with you / i can hear the waves from in my bedroom and in the hush of night i hear them speak relate the ebb and brim and silver slivers wearing thin and tides that carve upon the world a cry of grief the place where you have gone i cannot follow and so is acquiescing overdue but i cant wake my heart that wants for holding that still drifts in the overcast with you

apotheosis 06:32
the furious beryl foot of canis major calls its proud approach into my crater my brand new soul that fell to earth all over was born to break the surface of the water and through my very own apotheosis perennial person pronounced apoptosis the silver straits that looked upon me kindly will send a beam of starlight to remind me i can do it all i design the future more than anything, i desire the future liminal being my transmutation a constellation grief and elation every expression willing admission an admonition for those who listen

about

Arcadian Rhythms features a rich mélange of aural imagery; a mixed palette of electroacoustic and synthesised sound coalesces into a 24-track genre chimera.

An exploration of the impossible utopia of memory; "the world you can never get back; the nostalgic world you can never return to again".

To the sleeping, and to the waking.

Tracks 1-12 are the day side.
Tracks 13-24 are the night side.

Arranged for sequential listening.
