A companion to Animal Halo

Twenty-two
rooms.

Every song opens a door. Follow the house from first light to dark water, or start with the room you recognize.

A gate, a wake, rain on glass, sand climbing the stairs. Each room begins with one detail.

Act I · Rooms 01–10

Bright rooms

Morning reaches the gates first. By noon, the whole house is moving.

Room 01 · Enter

First Step In

The gate swings shut behind you. One shoe crosses from morning glare into shade.

Room 02 · Recognize

In Love Again

They see each other first in the old glass.

Room 03 · Unbalance

Glasshouse Tilt

The horizon slips. The room leans just enough to make you laugh.

Room 04 · Pursue

Garden Glows

Path lights blink on one by one as two shadows keep missing each other by a turn.

Room 05 · Linger

Sticky in Sicily

Ice melts faster than anyone drinks it. The tablecloth clings to warm stone.

Room 06 · Glide

Mykonos Marble

Outside, noon strikes the marble. Inside, the linen barely moves.

Room 07 · Arrive by water

Como Glasshouse

A wooden boat enters the boathouse. The song arrives with its wake.

Room 08 · Spill

Glasshouse Fiesta

Colored light crosses tile, sleeves, and bare feet. Every room hears the same drum.

Room 09 · Gather

Ra Ra Glasshouse

The record turns past midnight. Nobody notices the sky getting pale.

Room 10 · Open

Morning Glory

Condensation clears from one pane. Morning reaches the room.

Act II · Rooms 11–18

The private turn

The doors close. Desire, weather, and distance begin rearranging the rooms.

Room 11 · Drift

Your Netherlands

Canal light slips across fogged glass while the rain lets go.

Room 12 · Pull

Mind Pull

Upstairs, then downstairs, then somewhere in between. The curtain knows the way.

Room 13 · Remain

Signal in My Head

The room empties. Rain and the last note stay.

Room 14 · Entwine

Honeysuckle Vine

A loose vine taps the iron frame until someone opens the window.

Room 15 · Almost touch

Lips in the Dark

Two shadows gather on steamed glass and stop just short of touching.

Room 16 · Track

Hunter and the Hunted

Footsteps change direction. So does the chase.

Room 17 · Rise

Saffron Rite

Sand climbs the stairs on the wind. Saffron silk turns once under the moon.

Room 18 · Answer

Tongues in the Courtyard

A shutter opens across the courtyard. Another answers.

Act III · Rooms 19–22

Dark water

The last four songs belong to moonlight, low tide, and the water below.

Room 19 · Look up

Mira la Luna

Cloud passes. Moonlight finds a path across wet stone.

Room 20 · Uncover

Marea Baja

The tide leaves old steps where there was only water.

Room 21 · Descend

Bajo el Agua

One breath, then below the surface: bubbles, fabric, stone.

Room 22 · Arrive

Animal Halo

One light across dark water. The house kept it on.

The doors open August 14

Then keep going.

The doors open August 14. Until then, one light stays on.
