The Unfolding · Central discovery

THE SEQUENCE

The tracks existed first. The story was discovered later.

Two timelines

When the music existed

Earliest surviving DAW/project evidence ranges from 2010 onward. The 23-track sequence is not a creation-order list.

Narrative order

Where the music appears

The Lights Arise sequence emerged when the titles were arranged into a narrative in April 2013. Creation chronology and sequence order must remain separate.

Selected chronology

03 DEC 2010

Mind Ship Man / Floating On An Alien Ocean — earliest surviving DAW state in the current record.

24 DEC 2010

Humans v's Aliens v's Robots — early surviving project state.

2011

Multiple tracks appear in surviving project evidence, including Deep Space Malfunction, Rainy Beaches, Beautiful Angelic Fairy Princess, Humanoid Space Invaders and others.

2012

Further tracks emerge, including Encroaching Psychotic Entity, Agapism, Noises In My Heads, Calling All Aliens, Arachnoid God Destroyer, Physician Magician and others.

JAN 2013

The one-track-a-day challenge functions as a completion mechanism. It does not mean every track was newly created during those days.

The title combinations, message language and sequence discovery develop in close succession.

MAY 2013

Unfold The Void becomes the 24th track and the centre of a new experimental phase.

Trace

The full v84 Object records remain preserved in the legacy archive. The new site will progressively replace them with current Object Record pages that distinguish source, date, evidence, interpretation and unresolved status.
