Cortex Primer: 000 - The Initiation Ritual

When I first started volunteering at KBVR I was required to play 20 minutes of music as part of my training. So, I took the opportunity to make an insane, brain melter of a mix.

It is now being presented as both the pilot episode of Cortex Primer and an audio ritual of sorts.
