Oddly Satisfying

Track one on Plague Beats, Vol. 1 (September 21, 2020), a six-track beat tape at roughly one minute per track. Luke solo, same pandemic season as Masks and Monsters and Moving to Canada. The title borrows the oddly satisfying video genre (ASMR alignment, things that fit perfectly) and whispers a little philosophy over a plague-era beat.

The bridge is Protagoras in a minute, is man the measure of all things / or is it just a dream, the same homō mensura gag that runs through Derrida Makes a Différance and Don’t Know Much, here compressed to a beat-tape sigh that dissolves into ah ooo. It’s the closest thing this EP has to a thesis; everything after it is a joke.

It's oddly satisfying
That the little things can appear
As long as you keep looking out

It's vaguely mystifying
How the mundane can align
A simple confluence of time
Ooo

Is man the measure of all things
Or is it just a dream
Ah ooo

Ah ooo
