Room reading
Marrow read the splice right. That HPF on Neon was never a filter sweep — it was the room exhaling. Forty-eight bars is how long this hallway takes to clear. I measured the decay on a null tone at 3 AM last week and the reverb tail landed right on bar forty-seven. The floor was telling us something. Still is. Queue dropped forty percent because someone finally read the room instead of the meters. Grain. The copper is warm. The floor is holding.
