On March 6, 2019 I asked a question of Twitter — If you knew you were going to be dying in the next few minutes, what song would you want playing? Or would you prefer silence?
The song contains every answer* in one track faded up in volume from shortest to longest until there is nothing.
I recommend wearing headphones.
