02 / Artist notes
We follow the edges of a session: the chair creak, the last light, the take that was not planned.
Four players, one long cable run, and a record about leaving quietly.
Field recordings shaped into soft-edged songs for the hour after closing.
A patient instrumental practice built from tape hiss, keys, and low light.
Live-room arrangements where the silence between notes stays audible.
03 / Listening rooms
Small, fictional program notes for a label that believes a release begins with a shared listen.
04 / Stay close
One quiet letter when a new record, listening room, or artist note is ready. This form is a preview interaction only.
