Week 1 baseline recording
“The griot's function was to make the invisible visible, the present moment speak to those who came before and after. Your recording is your first act in that same tradition — making your musical thinking audible and documentable. The recording cannot lie.”
Before recording, listen one final time. You are recording a response to what Johnson built. How much of that conversation can you hold? Pulse, form, three deliberate spaces. Nothing more is required today.
