What the chronology changes
The album is therefore not best understood as fifty-two songs written in a single album cycle. It behaves more like a convergence point. Earlier singles, notebook procedures, prose fragments, covers, collaborators and unfinished experiments are pulled into one numbered object and then reframed by the liner book’s theories of ERRORISM and Infinite Playing.
