once upon a time, on a lateral plane, a flat land, a young flat boy called pq prepared himself for what was to come. he existed in two dimensions, he knew for sure. those three-dee theorists? he didn’t have time for that! what was about to happen was going to explain everything, or so people had told him.
with his single chipped tooth, pq presently nibbled on that which had been presented to him. he presented exactly that which upon he had just nibbled, a small piece of paper; a third pq nibbling and presenting accordingly. he looked down upon the tiny square pieces of paper thus being presented in their threefold rotational symmetry, and what he witnessed was a scene exactly like that which he could see around him. looking deeper and deeper still into one of these three pieces of paper, (and this was getting really quite small now) the scene were triplicated there too, along with his own fractal reflection, a repeating transcendental trifecta. but he as he studied the scene, he noticed one fundamental difference: these pqs weren’t looking down onto themselves as he was. they were looking up. straight up.
this cryptic triptych of tripped-up eyeballs filled his mind absolutely. it was all he could think about, they were all looking directly upwards. into him. through him. without turning his head, he found he was now looking up as well. subtly his sensations started seeping upwards too, into the next dimension. upwards. he had only ever known sideways. as he struggled to comprehend this new plane his mind slipped unnoticed from his grasp. he was looking up. up at himself. through his own eyes he saw himself repeated again and again and again. trapped in an infinite triskelial regress, he could do nothing but laugh. as they echoed on into eternity, the three cackling little boys laughed out an interlocking triplet rhythm. ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha...

What a wild approach to vocal sampling, DnB & broken beat experimentation. I'm not only impressed but a little concerned for my center of gravity. cherub420
