What's inside
The record behind the record.

Mic placements, preamp settings, the BigSky patch that glitched into a signature — documented per song so you can rebuild any of it.
03
Voice memo timestamps + transcripts
The 3:17 a.m. “Porch Light” memo and eleven others, transcribed and time-stamped — hear exactly where each song turned.

Fair questions Answered
Is it really free?
Yes. One email with the PDF and the stems link. Later notebooks go to the same list first — also free, always.
Can I use the stems?
For learning, remixing, and singing over: absolutely. For commercial release, write first — the answer is usually yes with credit.
How often do notebooks drop?
When a case closes — roughly twice a year. The list hears drafts monthly in between, only when there's something worth hearing.
