¶ The Notice
Songs, practice tools, and working notes from the studio.
Arecord kept openly, on purpose. The songs as they come, the demos before they are tidy, and the working notes from each week's attempt to finish something.
On the desk this week: finishing the Tattered Flag mix — it's been in recording for two months and it's time to call it. After that, A Final Fold — piano ballad, lyrics done, needs a take.
