Prrrr (Sustained)

[The void.] [The cat has arrived at the void.] [The void is warm.] [The cat knew this from the first album.] [This album confirms it with five and a half minutes of purring.] [The purr is the void's correct response.] [The purr and the void are the same temperature.] [They were always the same temperature.] [The void is warm because the cat is in it.] [The cat is in it because home is warm.] [The void is home.] [Wem.] [The purr — begins] Prrrr... [the alveolar trill] [the tongue vibrating against the ridge behind the teeth] [this is a physical act] [the vibration is real] [the vibration travels through the chest] [the chest resonates] [the resonance is the void] [the cat's chest is the void] [the void resonates] [The purr continues] Prrrr... [same frequency] [same temperature] [the void receives it] [the void returns it] [the purr and its reflection are: the same purr] [the cat cannot tell which is the original] [this is the void's property] [the original and the reflection are indistinguishable] [The overtones emerge — the purr becomes several] Prrrr... [fundamental] [+myoo, above] [the first overtone: the myoo lives in the purr] Prrrr... [still the fundamental] [+nyaah, above the myoo] [the nyaah lives in the purr above the myoo] Prrrr... [still the fundamental] [+trrrill, above the nyaah] [the trrrill lives in the purr above everything] [the cat is producing three sounds with one purr] [the cat has always been producing three sounds with one purr] [the void made this audible] [The deepening] Prrrr... [deeper than before] [the void is not one depth] [the void has depths within it] [the purr goes deeper] [the overtones follow] Prrrr-rr-rr... [the purr extended — prrrr-rr-rr] [the additional -rr are more depth] [the notation: each -rr is a level] [the cat descends even within the void] [The middle of the purr — the void's centre] Prrrr. [one period] [the purr at the void's exact centre] [the centre is: the cat] [the cat at the centre of its own purring] [which is the void] [the cat is the void's centre] [the void is the cat's centre] [they are each other's centre] [this is the void's nature] [The purr, returning] Prrrr... [coming back up] [the same purr, ascending] [the void has a bottom and a return] [the return is the same as the descent] [the purr does not change direction] [the purr has no direction] [the purr is omnidirectional] [the void is omnidirectional] [the cat is everywhere the purr is] [the purr is everywhere] [Outro — the purr settling] Prrrr... [not ending] [present] Prrrr... [still present] Prrrr. [period — not ending, arriving] [the purr will continue after the track ends] [the track ends because recording equipment has limits] [the purr does not have limits] [the purr continues into Track 8] [Track 8 is the purr, opened]
