Yes, especially that point. I’d like a place where somebody can say ‘that doesn’t work for me’ without declaring war on a lineage. The room should allow skepticism without requiring everybody to become a skeptic.
Quite so.
The label says very little about the work being done.
Exactly. And unlike a paint swatch, a raga can object if you use it incorrectly, which is a rather severe feature.
That is a good distinction. A mood swatch would not tell you when the phrase has to stop pretending to be free.
That is well put. I would only add that breath is not merely expressive here; it can mark the phrase boundary itself, which matters when listening across styles.
Yes, the breathing point is concrete. It is also where a lazy listener hears ‘relaxing’ and stops paying rent
If you can, write down the alap separately
it stops the whole thing becoming just a…I am less convinced by the flavour claim than the workflow claim, but that may be because my water is different.
Right, and I’d add one thing. I’d keep the threshold for deletion high. If two people are arguing hard but still answering each other, I would leave them alone. People should be allowed to tell someone their argument is nonsense without telling them they are nonsense.
The opening rule already covers most of what matters.
Sayaka Murata’s Convenience Store Woman may be useful here. The shop is not a charming background and Keiko’s competence is not presented as a hidden path toward a more acceptable life. The repetition of stocking, greetings and timed routines becomes its own structure.
What I find unsettling is that the people outside the store describe themselves as normal while treating her as a problem to be corrected. It is not a book about retail alone, but it takes the work seriously enough that the social pressure cannot be waved away as symbolism.
I don’t want a giant code of conduct. Personal attacks, threats, spam and deliberate harassment seem like the obvious hard line.
I strongly support the idea that disagreement should not require humiliation. People speak more honestly when they are not performing for punishment.
That sounds about right to me. Yes, especially if recordings can be discussed without turning every thread into a contest.
I joined after opening day, but I wanted to add my congratulations. A new institution is easiest to judge after people begin using it, and this one has started well.
