The chronology matters because Electronic Lover does not have one clean first appearance. The recording precedes its public release; two tracks become components of larger texts before the four-track sequence is announced; one then migrates into live performance.
| Date | Medium | Event | Relation |
|---|---|---|---|
| late 2024 | Recording | Four-track narrative recorded. | source fact The August release post says it was recorded “late last year.” |
| 2025-02-04 | Writing / visual film / demo | THIRTEEN DREAMS featuring ABIOGENESIS | documented migration Demo title, forthcoming-release credit and printed lyric precede formal release. |
| 2025-02-07 | Writing / narrative / demo | Rouse Drowsy… featuring TRAIN ME | documented migration Demo is embedded in a screen-collapse fiction and fifteen arcana. |
| 2025-08-22 | Record release | Official Flash Release | formal convergence Train Me / Just Who? / Artsong / Abiogenesis become one four-track narrative. |
| 2025-10-28 | Live performance / video | Disemvowal (16 Bits) | afterlife “Train Me” is performed with Talkie Night in Ensenada. |
Two different kinds of recurrence
The February appearances are not merely thematic similarities: they explicitly name the same songs and the forthcoming release, so they are documented migrations. By contrast, links between the record's synthetic-personhood problem and later writing about unstable selves are interpretive rhymes unless a direct textual route can be shown.
Distributed first appearance
The sequence demonstrates Distributed Rendering / No Canonical View at release scale. A listener can encounter “Abiogenesis” as a lyric, a demo/visual-film idea, an audio closer, or a node inside a synthetic-love narrative; none of those forms contains the entire object.
