- Listeners curious about an interactive, concept-led record
- Worth noticing
- The “tangled” note cites Kirkpatrick, Gelatt & Vecchi (1983) and turns simulated annealing into a letter-swapping exercise.
Field notes
The foyer labels a charging end, observation port, cooling tunnel, and flue, framing the record as something held in a kiln-like process. A separate “tangled” note turns simulated annealing into a small letter-swapping exercise, with controls to lower the temperature and put a version back. The archive is identified as a Keeper’s Log, described as being kept on the back of an invoice; the extracted page also points to a release schedule.
