FT.

LIAH

Every note was carefully sculpted in stillness, allowing the emotion to linger like dusk on skin delicate, fleeting, unforgettable. Brought to life with intent by AK Record.

WHAT WE DID

WHAT WE DID

WHAT WE DID

A late-night session where quietude shaped the topography of every note. Our role was to hold space letting breath, phrasing, and silence take center stage. The result is a vocal that feels whispered directly into the listeners chest.

RECORDING ENGINEER

We captured LIAH in one take. One mic, one dim light. She sang as if journaling, and we didn’t touch that honesty.

MIXING ENGINEER

The reverb was set to exhale. Tiny room reflections were preserved to keep it intimate. No compression gymnastics — just natural curves that move with her dynamics.

VOCAL EDITING

We kept the edits invisible. No over-quantizing, no pitch sterilization. Just enough tuning to support her natural tone, and breaths were kept intact to preserve the emotional rhythm.

VOCAL DIRECTION

Each moment was hers, but we helped anchor the emotional shifts. Guiding her gently through transitions without ever breaking her stillness.

SESSION MANAGEMENT

We left the metronome off. The pauses, the breath-ins, the in-betweens — all stayed. Sometimes, what we didn’t fix said more than what we did.
