Loosely inspired by the Neil Stephenson novel of the same name, I tried to include a lot of burbclave cyberscapes, glossolalia, and Sumerian incantations.

My mix was made intuitively & luckily recorded in one take after I finished working the run-time & track arrangement :) Rather than focusing on specific tracks I wanted to share or any big picture concepts, I focused on a mood & track-to-track flow. I feel that this mix winds up diving into a sort of dreamy hazy nostalgia very reflective of the headspace I was in at the time of making it.
