“transLiterate” is a track added by pytchblend in the Hermetic Library audio pool.

transLiterate is part of my etherCore series – it’s about trying to make sense of the half-awake time between sleeping and dreaming; the same kind of semi-consciousness that follows hospital-induced anesthesia.

A moment so intimate it was plain inside.

Potentially naïve.
