ProtoOzone
Redesign unseen structures by examining what changed, rather than the result alone.
Read →SHUSHULAB / KNOWLEDGE BASE
Knowledge.
ShushuLab has reorganized the material collected in CORE INDEX as reusable knowledge. Thinking protocols, observation and judgment models, and acoustics and production techniques are grouped so you can explore them by purpose.
Document the structure and the changes, as well as the results.
01 / PROTOCOLS
Turn states and actions into practical methods.
Practical ShushuLab protocols that include conditions for reproduction, observation, and exit.
HPM
Observe internally generated material at the boundary of sleep, collect useful fragments, and leave that state.
Read →Reducing decision load
Standardize unimportant recurring choices to preserve mental resources for important decisions.
Read →02 / OBSERVATION & JUDGMENT
Do not judge the whole by what is visible.
Unobserved groups, unshared assumptions, and biased samples: examine the structures that can distort judgment.
Visibility bias
An observation model for avoiding the mistake of treating those who speak up as the entire population.
Read →Unshared evaluation criteria
Using romantic relationships as an example, examine how discussions break down when evaluation criteria themselves differ.
Read →03 / AUDIO & PRODUCTION
Look at what is happening, beyond equipment names.
Technical notes on understanding mixing, acoustics, and recording through changes, measurements, and space.
Black-box dependence and numerical control
Approach mixing as control through dB, Hz, ms, and the changes before and after processing.
Read →Sound isolation and acoustics are different
Distinguish isolation from control, and consider small booths, standing waves, reflections, and interference across the whole space.
Read →FROM KNOWLEDGE TO PRODUCTION
Apply these ideas to production.
Vocal production services
Recording, correction, mixing, mastering, and preprocessing design. The ideas shared in Knowledge also inform our production process.
