buried gods draws inspiration from a poem by the Beat poet John Hoffman, "(Pique) Song," which talks about the tattered wings of birds being singed by the sun. Using delays, ring modulation, and pitch captures, the piece attempts to create textures that reflect on the poetic image of sunlight peeking through the frayed feathers of birds.
