Geometric Series

Sixteen recordings about distance: how it is made, how far it can go and why it closes. The first five stand on their own ground. A promise half-buried in salt, a burning front against earth that will not bow, a spare key for a changed lock, Mikhail Kukva's shy dance, and a path sung in Japanese toward a river that is gone.

From Air Gets Thin the record runs as a series. The distance opens with a coat left on a kitchen door, widens through a slow betrayal and an inch of cold air in a shared bed, and reaches its limit at a station rail and a graveside. Then it turns: back on your feet, past the watchman's tower, through the door. Carry It Home and Fixed Point close it at the one place every road bends back to.

A geometric series with a ratio below one has a finite sum. Every term is smaller than the one before, and the total still arrives. The bonus track is the proof: Fixed Point sung again as the Banach fixed-point theorem. Full lyrics accompany every recording.
