    In July 2026 I printed a songbook for an instrumental EP I recorded called

    <em>Infinite Recursion</em>. You can listen to it 

    <a href="https://music.tmont.com/?album=Infinite+Recursion">here</a>.

</p>

<p>

    I designed the cover, and used actual math to generate the infinity

    symbol (technically the 

    <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemniscate_of_Bernoulli">Lemniscate of Bernoulli</a>).

    I was very proud.

    The screen→print color conversion did not go that well, but I had neither the

    skills nor the patience to fix it. Here's what it looks like on screen (although my

    photography skills are also not that good, so it definitely looks more washed out

    in the photos than in real life):

    The book was 80 pages. I used <a href="https://www.onpressbookprinting.com/">OnPress</a> 

    for printing. It cost $155 to print five books, including tax/shipping.
