# STRAW DOGS by Celestial Migrant, 2025

This is an app that will endlessly compose and perform the piece Straw Dogs by Celestial Migrant.

Listen until you've had enough, use the volume slider if necessary, quit to close.

The algorithm for this piece is similar to six selves conversing throughout their lives, coming in and out of each other's spheres, becoming part of each other then departing each other, selves becoming other selves. According to the Dao, all selves are straw dogs, all things in the cosmos are straw dogs, more knowledge brings fewer paths, better to keep hollow, stay open.
