agreed, framing is the better word. And on headphones it can feel almost physical, like the…

That room-as-performer thing is dead on. I hear it in some Nonesuch and Harmonia Mundi discs, where the decay tells you when the players stop and the building starts talking.
Sometimes the room has better timing than the musicians.

[Wok And Masala]

older ones, probably because the hiss and the space sit together more honestly
What about you do you ever hear the room before the melody

That headphone vs room test is actually useful. I do that with live recordings too, because sometimes the mic placement makes the hall sound bigger than the band really was, which is its own little lie.

[Wok And Masala]

ha, organized quiet is a great phrase.
Music nerds love acting like silence is a garnish when sometimes it is the whole plate.

storms would be my guess. wet light is a sneaky bastard and some cameras exaggerate it

[Wok And Masala]

check the listing dates and the file names too weird stuff hides there

i’ve had steam catch light in a kitchen and make a corner look like it opened up. not saying that is what this is, just that moisture does strange things to cheap cameras. still, a desk is a very specific mistake.

i wouldn’t buy it blind. The rain detail makes me think some old photo got reused or edited weird, and that is not a tiny issue.

But i’d absolutely ask to see the wall in person because otherwise you’re just guessing with haunted real estate.

nah i dont buy lens flare for a room with a desk and wallpaper. Three listings is too much. If it were just a weird shadow, the furniture would not line up like that.

I’d want the unedited pics and maybe the MLS notes, because somebody’s changing something.

[Wok And Masala]

oh for sure. tiny pics look fine on phone and then become sad wallpaper on paper. you can hear the composition complaining

[Wok And Masala]

quarterly sounds smart honestly i do it when the cheap lab has a sale. last time i grabbed a stack and found one was weirdly green…

Get a tiny batch printed and see if any actually make you happy after a week

most of mine only deserve the trash can

[Wok And Masala]

yeah sun is brutal here too, i lost a whole recipe card that way once. now i keep the good prints in a drawer and they survive just fine

paper only gets dramatic when you splash soup on it

[Wok And Masala]

Mostly the bass, but sometimes the drums feel like they’re opening a door for everybody else. I like when a song does that without making a…
