Untangling Legacy Code | Cello & Felt Piano for Deep Programming Focus

For the system nobody fully understands anymore. A solo cello holds the low ground while a felt piano answers in short, muted phrases. Recorded close and kept quiet, so the room stays still while you trace one thread at a time through years of layered decisions. Made for reading legacy code, large refactors, debugging old systems, and the long sessions where you slowly turn someone else's tangle into something you can reason about. 💿️ Tracklist (52 min · Repeat ×3) A quiet corner for the mind that needs to stay with one thing.
