[ ONE PROJECT / MORE THAN ONE DISCIPLINE ]

A release rarely stays in one lane.

A project may move from artist strategy into rehearsal and recording, then through final audio, metadata, distribution, visuals, and a campaign. The categories show where to enter; Fracture keeps the handoffs from becoming separate problems.
