Notebook margins and acoustic logs

Every session begins with an old acoustic six-string and an open notebook on the oak table. Microphones catch the wood floors creaking and late afternoon traffic drifting past open windows.

Rather than chasing pristine isolation, these recordings honor the room itself. Tape hiss and pencil scratches stay in the final mix, preserving the hour each verse first took shape.
