- Working with bands in the Tokyo underground, I noticed something about how non-native English speakers approach lyric writing, there's a freedom in treating the language as texture rather than grammar. It's liberating in a way that native speakers often have to work to recover. I come back to studio updates: 25% acoustic panel coverage now, noticeable difference on the mic, still a work in progress. The Black Friday plugin window is a good forcing function to think about gaps in the workflow, and I get into a few that caught my attention, particularly a reverb that doesn't try to sound like a real room, which is a different and honestly attractive thing. You can capture an amazing musical idea in a really bad way and it can still be dope. The tools matter, but they matter less than the moment you're trying to catch.
