SoundCloud is preserved here as a historical publication layer. The platform trail is valuable because it records public appearances of the music, while remaining distinct from the question of when the recordings were actually created.
LIGHTS ARISE // JANUARY–MAY 2013
THE DENSE PUBLICATION RUN
The surviving SoundCloud trail shows twenty Lights Arise recordings appearing during the concentrated January 2013 run, followed by three further tracks in March and Unfold The Void in May. This is a publication chronology, not a creation chronology.
STATUS // DOCUMENTED PUBLICATION TRAIL
LIGHTS ARISE // 8 JANUARY → 28 MARCH 2013
THE THREE-TRACK GAP
Cerebral Parsley appears on 8 March, The Machine Elves on 27 March and Asydo Lemem on 28 March. The gap matters because the remembered account is twenty-three tracks in twenty-three days. The archive therefore asks whether the three tracks were created later or simply made public later.
STATUS // CHRONOLOGY QUESTION
UNFOLD THE VOID // 17 MAY 2013
THE EXPERIMENT ENTERS THE PUBLIC RECORD
Unfold The Void appears later than the main January/March publication trail. Its separate status as Experiment 001 is documented elsewhere in the archive.

OTHER SOUNDCLOUD ALBUMS
These releases are now part of the catalogue. The original SoundCloud release links are preserved on their individual release pages; tracklists, upload dates and original album context will be reconstructed as the platform material is catalogued. Nothing is being inferred from the Lights Arise chronology.
STATUS // CATALOGUED / DETAILED RECORD PENDING
SOUNDCLOUD IS NOT TREATED AS A COMPLETE CREATION LOG. IT IS A RECORD OF PUBLIC AVAILABILITY — ONE LAYER IN THE ARCHAEOLOGY.
