BTW Podcast #2 — Act III / The Law of Heat

BTW Podcast #2 — Act III / The Law of Heat

Act III has finally settled.Not cooled — settled.The kind of heat that stays under the skin even after the scenes end. This week, I wanted to step behind the text and speak from the place where the act was actually written: the fan ticking in the living room, the aftermath of rain, the noise of silence that becomes a temperature long before it becomes a choice. This podcast isn’t a summary of Act III. It’s the climate beneath it — what guided the tension, what shaped the breath between chapters, what made the triangle stop pretending. This audio is the companion piece of the full Integral: the off-screen voice, the pressure between lines, the part the characters can’t say but the book depends on. If you haven’t read it yet, you can find the full Integral here: Act IV begins on Thursday.And if Act III was heat, Act IV is the cost of standing too close. Thanks for listening — and for staying inside this climate with me. © LePoint G — The Triangle’s Quadrature - BTW Podcast | Episode #002 Get full access to TTQ | The Triangle’s Quadrature at thesummertriangle.substack.com/subscribe [https://thesummertriangle.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4]

BTW Podcast #1 — The Voice Follows the Text

I. The Act of Beginning I used to dream of writing. For decades, it was only that — a dream that circled itself, elegant, unfulfilled.The Triangle’s Quadrature changed that. It wasn’t just a story; it was the moment I crossed over. The fantasy of writing became an act. I remember the first weeks — the silence, the doubt, the sudden regularity.Every morning, I sat down not to imagine a book, but to face it.Discipline felt erotic in its own way: the friction of repetition, the ache of finding form. Readers came — quietly at first, then like echoes I hadn’t expected.Their messages pulled me out of isolation and back into the loop of dialogue.They weren’t witnesses; they were mirrors.They made the text real, and with that, the work became an atelier. Now every project begins like TTQ did: with a tremor, a plan, and a hunger to turn theory into skin. II. The Geometry of Desire TTQ is a triangle — three men, three voices, three mirrors.Desire was never the subject; it was the structure.Each line a tension between symmetry and collapse. Writing them, I learned that narrative is not linear — it’s orbital.Desire doesn’t move forward; it revolves, exchanges, transforms.What draws one closer inevitably pushes another away. I used to think I was writing about them — Julien, Matthieu, Rafael — but I was tracing a geometry I was already inside of.The triangle became a language, one that extended beyond the story itself:into how I build characters, how I relate, how I create. Every project since then — even The Eighth Realm — is haunted by that same logic:that love, structure, and obsession all share the same shape. III. The Naked Voice Now I want to speak — not perform, just breathe.The urge is no longer to write, but to resonate.To let the voice carry what the text could only suggest. There’s a different intimacy in sound:it erases the distance that paragraphs preserve.You don’t read a voice — you receive it.It enters, vibrates, stays. I keep thinking of the microphone as a blank page, one that listens instead of waiting to be filled.Maybe that’s where the next part begins —in the space between exhale and confession,where fiction dissolves into frequency. Welcome to Behind the Words — Podcast.This is where the text begins to breathe. © LePoint G — The Triangle’s Quadrature - BTW Podcast | Episode #001 Get full access to TTQ | The Triangle’s Quadrature at thesummertriangle.substack.com/subscribe [https://thesummertriangle.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4]
