Bubblilities.wav

Do you have a "bubblilities.wav" hiding on your hard drive? A forgotten recording, a typo that became a title, a sketch that never became a song? Tell me about it in the comments. Let’s build a library of the almost-works.

I don’t remember recording it. I don’t remember exporting it. But every six months, when my algorithm feeds me a vaporwave track or I hear the glug of a coffee maker, I search my memory for that file. I open it in Audacity. The waveform looks like a gentle, rolling hill—no loud peaks, no clipping. And then I press play. bubblilities.wav is exactly 47 seconds long.

Do you have a "bubblilities

At 2:17 AM, exhausted and slightly delirious, I must have leaned too close to the mic. I was probably drinking seltzer water. I was probably humming a tune from a dream I had already forgotten. I hit record, then stopped 47 seconds later. In my fatigue, I went to save the file and typed "Bubbles" and "Possibilities" at the same time.
