Beautiful storytelling around discovering an artist who channels that 70s sound through modern production. The choice to use the RCA Type 77-DX ribbon mic from the mid-50s is chef's kiss, those vintage ribbons capture warmth and transients in ways modern condersers just can't replicate. What's compelling is how the technical choices (stripped-down piano, vintage mic positioning) serve the narrative of bridging generational musical tastes rather than just being aesthetic flourish.
