PROFILE

A catalogue of record, kept by one person and a great deal of filing.

Ossory files anthems for places that never asked for one. The songs are written by hand and produced in-house; the sleeves are made per song and house-styled per collection; the whole thing is catalogued in a database that is the single source of truth. This page will eventually say who is responsible. For now the work is the more interesting half.

What will live here

Planned holdings
i

Words

Written by hand, because the joke is the part that has to land. Meter and rhyme are held to the original anthem wherever one exists.

ii

Sound

Recorded and then auditioned against the lyric until the accent, the meter and the joke all survive the same take.

iii

Filing

Lyric sheet, style note, sleeve and description are filed together per song. The catalogue is the point as much as the catalogue is the joke.

The music, meanwhile, is filed and listenable.
