Short notes from the studio as it comes together.

We put up the first sign of life today — a coming-soon world you can play with rather than just read. Hold the light and a star ignites; planets condense and orbit it. A studio should introduce itself the way it works, so we built the introduction the way we build.
Spent the week composing the site's music from scratch — pads, a sub-bass drone, and a long convolution reverb that turns a small sound into a large space. No stock loops. If the room is going to have a mood, it should be one we authored note by note.
Made the orbiting worlds pass behind their star instead of floating on top of it. A tiny change that took a full day — and the moment it landed, the whole scene stopped looking like an effect and started looking like a place. Detail is never optional.
The best work we've seen this year lives at the seam of design and engineering — and almost nobody is truly fluent in both. That gap is the reason for this studio. We're building toward the first projects now; the work will speak for itself soon enough.
