Measured Fiction
On the Direction the Real Seeps In
Some numbers cannot lie. Six lines are now engraved into this site's tracklist. They are not decoration. They are measurements: the amplitude of the released masters, carried over as it is. I did not draw a single curve of them. The songs did.
A band that does not exist has left waveforms that do. I think this inversion is the most honest part of this project. Worldbuilding stays light no matter how high it is stacked. A measurement stays heavy no matter how small it is. Fiction thins the more it insists, and thickens the more it is recorded.
So I never wanted this website to explain a world. I wanted it to have physics instead. Here, light follows the reader's hand. On a page that does not exist, light runs where sand should. A visitor is not an audience; for a moment, they are part of this world's lighting.
Breaking the boundary is, in fact, the wrong phrase. Boundaries are not broken; they are passed through. Data from the real seeps toward the fiction, and a fictional person holds accounts on real platforms. I am closer to someone recording the direction of that osmosis.
Is everything that can be measured real? Then the measurements a fiction leaves behind: which world's records are they?
