Venesia and her twin brother Venexia are the daughter and son of the characters Omnia and Paul (not to be confused with the author Paul) in my novel: Monument to the Unimaginable. 

The parents discover their teenage children have begun a romantic and sexual relationship, and separate them, with Venesia staying with them in Paris, and Venexia being sent to Berlin to live with his aunt. 

After a month of the children being separated, with Venesia still very much in the doldrums emotionally, Paul and Omnia decide to take a trip to their holiday home in Italy. Here, Venesia pens a letter to her brother.

"My Dearest, Darling V.,

I am writing to you from the holiday house on Lake Orta. It started snowing two days ago. 

Père and Mère are always fussing about, hovering around, getting on my very last nerve. They're unendingly asking me how I am doing, how I'm coping without you. As if they even care.

We are cooped up together here like sardines in a tin. I never get a moment to myself. I wish they'd just let me be and suffer on my own.

I won't forgive them for doing this, taking you away from me, not ever, I promise you that.

Last night, when I was getting dressed for bed, a fox came to my window. He looked at me and I looked back at him. His eyes were unbearably sad. 

I went to get him a bowl of water but when I came back he was gone. 

I wanted to tell him how beautiful he was, but I didn't have the chance to. I can't say what, exactly, but there was something about him that reminded me of you. Did you come visit me last night in your dreams? Were you the sad fox?

How are things in Berlin? Do you miss me? I miss you terribly.

I send you kisses, my love. We must find a way to be together again soon. I love you more than I can possibly say.

Your Sistren Other and True Soul's Wife,

V."

Disquiet Junto Project 0675: Arc of the Drone
The Assignment: Record a drone that goes from simple to complex to simple.

A drone based on a recording of a trill played on duduk. The drone starts out simple, but then morphs into a cluster (4 notes each a half step above the previous, and playing the trills). 
Towards the end the notes come together again, but now centering on the top note of the cluster.

Some effects, obviously, trying to accentuate the overtones.
