All -

I'm inclined to provide some sort of update since it's been a while. Earlier this year, our very own Josh & Steve have left to embark on their own selfless journeys & I wish them only the very best of luck. You can keep up with Josh [HERE] & Steve [HERE] <3

Currently, there are 6 brand new songs readied for the next release, which is unnamed at the moment. The songs...

----- Heads Up
----- Junior
----- Shine On
----- Sand & Stone
----- My Little One
----- Black Lung

will begin production this summer. I am hoping to bring dot square back to its roots with this next endeavor & I am more excited than ever to roll these out. I hope to release these songs 1 by 1 this fall, followed by a leg of shows. Readying the 8th year of this project, I can't thank everyone enough who has shed any ounce of support and appreciation for this. You are all the absolute best.

To Steve & Josh - you will be missed, but we all know you will continue doing great things. Thanks forever.

Long before humanity discovered mathematics, the Fourth Dimension existed as a boundless, primordial, pristine computational soup; it was a vantage point from which the multiverse could be monitored and maintained and mathematically oriented. When humans began to make computations, the infinite serenity of the Fourth Dimension was disrupted, and numerical content started to trickle into the Fourth Dimension from the singular three dimensional space known to man as the Universe. During one fateful moment, clusters of geometric proofs collided with one another, yoked together, and were nurtured with equations that drifted haplessly into the chaos until the nebulous numbers took the form of the four-dimensional analog of a cube: the Tesseract.

The first four-dimensional figure was the product of mankind’s intellectual progress, and in a sense, mankind had created the Tesseract; shortly after its creation, the Tesseract began to hone in on humanity, flickering in and out of the third dimension on Earth. The Tesseract would appear to great mathematicians and scientists for a fleeting moment as it traversed the three dimensional space before them and then abruptly passed through it; it presents itself as an anemic hypercube skeleton, sprawled impotently across a wraith-like Cartesian plane. Perhaps the Tesseract was seeking “God,” searching for its creators, attempting to interact with them somehow; from the perspective of those who witnessed it, however, it appeared as a momentary aberration, or perhaps a troubling visual hallucination worth repressing.

The computational output of computers far exceeded that of humans with their limited mental math capacities and their pens and paper; shortly after computers were invented, the overall computational output of the Universe began to rise exponentially. The amount of disruption in the Fourth Dimension will soon reach critical mass; the math drifting throughout that dimension is beginning to exhaust existing resources, storage capacity is running out, and inexorably, more hyperdimensional figures are being born. These new hyper dimensional figures are drawn to computers like moths to a flame, flickering about computers constantly, as if trying to attract their attention; meanwhile, the Tesseract glides as ever, following its predetermined algorithm, with no end in sight.

Does the Tesseract matter to humanity? That is unclear; to some, it might serve as a beacon guiding humanity towards a new frontier; to others, it will be a threatening alien presence; and perhaps others will regard it as a rare and beautiful phenomenon worth treasuring. Long after humanity is extinct, the Tesseract will continue to move along its predetermined path, finding nothing, drifting endlessly along an invisible information highway, and in a way, it will be all that is left of humanity, their sole contribution, lonely and without purpose.
