- Market and music consumption research
- narrativa.dev is my own practice: reception and circulation analysis, executed to a forensic reporting standard. One question — why did this record catch on, here, then, with these people? Every finding is labelled by what kind of claim it is, and every report states what the evidence does not support. narrativa.dev

Two ways to work with me
Mastering, mixing and vinyl pre-mastering. The records are on the front page.
Why a record caught on — here, then, with these people. What it attached itself to, who carried it, and which part of that was bought. That work is narrativa.dev, or write to me directly.
