This track began on July 22, 2018 and was originally called "THE_CIRCLE_" because it sounded to me like electronic ritual music, like dancing around a circle to summon something. THE_CIRCLE_ was originally very repetitive, lasting about 12 minutes, and had its tempo and pitch gradually increased as the track progressed.

Department of Computation builds off its mechanical, computery theme and has improved EQing, bass, mastering, and less repetitions. It also transposes the notes up in the middle of the track and again in the part after that.

This track is another example of an old track I've made being re-purposed to soundtrack MOULE WORLD lore. I believe I've improved so much with bass mastering and making my earlier, repetitive, poorly-mastered works sound better!
