An original song, written and recorded from your story. Delivered as a mastered digital file.

  • Original lyrics & melody written around your story
  • You approve the lyrics before production
  • Mastered digital file, delivered anywhere

Before you pay a thing

What every commission comes with.

The same terms apply at every tier. No templates, no stock tracks — and no charge until you approve the final lyrics.

01

Unlimited lyric revisions

Revise the lyric draft as many times as you need before production begins.

02

Refund before final approval

If you’re not happy before you give final approval, you get a full refund. Returns end after your two approvals — lyrics and mix.

03

2–3 weeks, confirmed up front

Typical time from order to delivery. If your date is fixed, we confirm it’s doable before you pay — and decline rather than rush.

The process

From story to object, in four sittings.

Nothing here is automated. A person reads your story, a composer scores it, and a single object is pressed to hold it.

I
Sitting I

You tell the story

A structured intake — voice note or written — captures the details, names, and moments that make it specific.

II
Sitting II

We compose & record

A songwriter drafts lyrics and melody around your story; you approve before full production begins.

III
Sitting III

We press the object

Disk is cut, cassettes are duplicated, or fabric is printed — each run small enough to be numbered by hand.

IV
Sitting IV

It’s entered & shipped

Your commission is logged into the ledger with its number, then packed and shipped with its certificate.
