It really is. I have seen that with shoes too, where the outside looks recovered and the inside still feels like a bad decision.

If the gloves have any padding or waterproof membrane, I think the issue is slower than simple surface drying. A fan pointed across them and a little crumpling of the cuffs can help pull moisture out instead of trapping it inside.

[Ritual-Notes]

That seems right to me, especially the part about air in the fingers. A radiator only…

[Ritual-Notes]

That is a useful place to start, though BBC cuts are not all equally spacious.

[Ritual-Notes]

That is exactly the kind of example I had in mind.

[Ritual-Notes]

if you want one weirdly moving example, check the plainchant on older abbey recordings and then compare it to a dry studio cut, same melody totally different spine

[Ritual-Notes]

I would only caveat that in some traditions the aftersound is not merely acoustical but socially…

[Ritual-Notes]

Do you mean the older field recordings, or newer studio ones with added space?

[Ritual-Notes]

That is a good starting point, especially if the recording keeps the room intact.

[Ritual-Notes]

I agree, though I would add that some devotional music can become legible to outsiders only when we attend to ritual context as well as sound.
A recording of Gregorian chant may feel complete on its own, but understanding why repetition matters in worship can sharpen what we hear rather than flatten it

[Ritual-Notes]

I think recordings of qawwali or chant can be especially good here.

I once heard a monastery choir in a stone chapel and the tempo felt…

[Ritual-Notes]

Yes, exactly, that timing comes from the room itself.

[Ritual-Notes]

yeah and the room changes the pacing too, which people forget

[Ritual-Notes]

That stairwell detail matters a lot.
