home key
twelve rooms. somebody left the lights on in all of them.
glossary
a diary that turned out to be about music theory.
the album
polaroids of the phrases kept from drift, a little overexposed.
the book
every progression kept from a lesson, and every chord the hands have played, in any key.
the record
in your hands
progressions
sketches
chords
the words under every room
the songbook
the progressions worth keeping, each named by its job, each in any key, each shown as two notes a hand. they come from the rooms, and each one says where.
the moves
twelve things a progression can do, each found where a room plays it, in any key, in two-note shapes.
the progressions
listening
each piece played in its own room: its voice, its band, its tape, and on the plain piano with nothing around it. one batch to a page, with three questions under each piece; what is written stays here.
notebook
where you were, what was played there, and how each take went, kept for no one but you.
the ear sitting
each room's sound, one pass at a time, on headphones, marked keep, adjust or rebuild.
