A Selection of Free Reads
A small shelf of starting points
Here is a small selection of free reads across the studio — a few open starting points gathered from different rooms and currents of the work. For more, you can browse the room and section archives.
Voice / Pen Rooms
Makari
Explorations of perception, pattern, and the interior architecture of meaning.
The Sentence That Lets Us Belong
The concluding meditation — listening for how language holds us together.
The Thought That Returns
This is my first pass through this score, first introduced in Substack Notes.
They Kept Quiet While the Others Talked
After the first attempt, I was curious what would change if the sentence was longer, and if the person at the center of it wasn’t me, but “they.”
The Question That Started the Spiral
There is at least one spiral at the beginning of every question.
The Body’s Role in Architecture
There is an idea I return to when I try to make sense of why this decision carried so much weight.
✧ Future Professions
Each entry in this collection names a role that becomes necessary when a society changes enough to require it.
Stomari
Experimental fiction and nonfiction that enters through dreams, symbols, and thresholds.
Relaxation Protocol
She woke with that familiar heat still in her chest, the kind that feels like a scene continuing after the lights come on.
The Security Guard of the Gate
I arrived with a message buffered in my body—warm data, ready for upload.
Mabstama
Satire, structure, and more speculative work from one of the studio’s sharper currents.
On the Matter of Repeated Vertical Infractions
To Whom It May Concern at the Department of Aerial Conduct Violations:
Other Open Rooms
Gallery
Visual work, image-led pieces, and exhibition-style entries across the studio.
I See You
Presence forming in dense gray atmosphere, seen from the side. An impression from a sequence received at the threshold of sleep.
Amend to Mend
A narrator pauses at the lectern and rereads the sentence more carefully this time, with “principles” underlined and the revision strip neatly in place.
Strings & Things
A figure stands in a drafting room while tiny strings made of footnotes and clause numbers tug at their shoulders and arms.
