Now

What has attention this month, what does not, and why. Updated by hand — that is rather the point.

Last updated 30 September 2026

In progress

01
Wings & Prayers
Building
The attention has moved from the records to the artist’s own website. In the last week of September littlebluepilot.com gained Ask Little Blue, the Workshop, the Playroom, the Sky Map, and on 29 and 30 September the Hangar and Colour It Here. Next in the same Workshop release are Flight Cards and new keepsakes. Second Flight, its film and its journal entry are complete.
02
WPAudio Engine
In progress
The analysis half works: five analyzers, album-level statistics, HTML and JSON reports, and a deterministic reference-mastering recipe that produces masters from targets an engineer sets. Two released records have now gone through it. Second Flight was the second real production workload and a different brief, one album-wide reference level in place of a decision per track. Next is still the Decision Engine, which would set those targets itself, starting with safety and loudness compliance before anything tonal.

This site
In progress
Both mastering case studies are live, Design is a first-class section, and the editorial work is still connecting finished projects to the decisions and lessons behind them. On 30 September the Journal added three: the littlebluepilot.com build, the wpagency.space tidy, and the launch of Roseville Star Ready Mix, a WPAgency.xyz client’s new venture.

Real work that is genuinely not being worked on. Saying so is more useful than a roadmap implying everything is in flight at once.

01
Wings & Prayers in-app cinematic
Paused
The videos shipped, nine on the artist’s channel plus the album film. The in-app cinematic did not: it needs a playback position stream just_audio does not expose.
02
JetLabs
Paused
The format is designed. Nothing published — experiments appear once they teach something.
