about

“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”

“Suspend/Suspension [Single]”, a narrative in three acts, represents a transition into the next phase of A Virtual Memory, entitled “Item 08: Thresholds in Flux [Vol. 02]”, a direct sibling of and foil to “Item 06: Songs for God [Vol. 01]”. The first and third songs are remixes of Zao’s “Witchhunter” and “Suspend/Suspension” from their albums “Self-Titled” [2001] and “Parade of Chaos” [2002] and will appear in variant forms on “Item 08”, which shall be released in early 2019. The second track is an alternate remix of Sleater Kinney’s “My Stuff” from their album “Call the Doctor” [1996], the original reworking of which appears on 2017’s “Item 04: 给医生打电话!” as “This Is Mine [Clutched/Devoured Mix]”. Carrying over from “Die Hand Die Verletzt Pt.01 [Single]”, this is a descent into darkness.
