Welcome to Point Crawl. I'm your host, Connor Sites-Bowen.
Point Crawl approaches conversation like roleplaying games approach adventures - a series of landmarks to explore and find meaning in.
Today's Point Crawl starts at the Keystone Temple.
This seventh episode is entirely behind-the-curtain shoptalk. It is a debrief and reflection on the first six episodes, “Season One”, as it were, as well as an exploration of what the project is about, why I’m doing it, and who my Podcast Family Tree is.

The music for this week's episode:
The intro music for the Keystone Temple is a piece called Zenophobic, by Salakapakka Sound System, from the album Buddha Machines on Fire Vol. 2. Buddha Machines are small musical loop players which produce meditative music. These small plastic boxes were first created by Beijing based electronica duo FM3, back in 2005, and have inspired many subsequent projects and products.
The music underneath the recreated opening to The Shadow is an electronic piece called PLATO No. 4297 Iridescent Violas, by PLATO & the Western Tradition, a live and improvised electronica set performed by David K. Barton on April 9 of 2017 somewhere in Michiana (pronounced Mish-e-Anna), the area around South Bend, Indiana that straddles the state border.
This closing track is Urbana-Metronica (wooh-yeah mix) by spinningmerkaba, featuring Morusque, Jeris, CSoul, and Alex Beroza.

The aria “What Power Art Thou” (Cold Song) from King Arthur, or the British Worthy. The semi-opera was written by Henry Purcell, with a libretto by John Dryden. That was me singing as the Genius (in the sense of an animating land-spirit) of Cold, having been awakened by Cupid - Love itself!

Music for this episode is CC-BY: Parranda, by zambeatz. Zambeatz is Jorge Molina Prudot, an experimental musician from Comayaguela, Honduras.
Parranda is an Afro-Indiginous musical form and festival format that happens around Christmas-time across Latin America. The Parranda featured in Prudot's haunting mix was performed by the Garifuna group Los Menudos. The Garifuna reside on the Caribbean coast and are of West African, Island Carib, Arawak, and European descent. They are a minority group within Honduras, which has long been the chief source of bananas for the United States.

Fuel consumption math based on numbers from Electric Refrigerated Container Racks: Technical Analysis [PDF link] by the Electric Power Research Institute. Apologies if I'm way off, but I think the exercise was illustrative regardless of the accuracy of a given computed average fuel price over time.
