The Orrery

Sound identity drafted and awaiting the red pen. The four disciplines below inherit from it.

The Focus

Open threads

• Rekordbox naming — 138 changes staged, apply run not yet made
• Weekly crate ritual — design the loop and stand it up

Managers hold bookings and press. This room is the personal and creative side: crate-digging, set prep, sound and brand direction, promo, scene radar.

Preservation infrastructure, not merely an archive. The dashboard waits on Botanica and the Ephemeris to set the working rhythm.

Open threads

• Pipeline: ingest → enrich → organize → publish
• Airtable favored over Notion for the relational catalogue

Venues, flyers, sets, lineages — a living atlas of nightlife history. Cultural memory is the whole point.

Wild but intentional. The weekly roll is running. Garden of Ninfa is the reference.

The beds

Open threads

• Shopping list in The Ledger — mulch, terracotta planters, fig planter

The Bushwick rooftop. An engraved-almanac register, organized into named beds.

The tondo suite is scoped and ready. Seven 12-inch rounds, dusk to first light — silver throughout, gold only at dawn.

Open threads

• Suite title undecided — Noctiluca or Selenography
• Cabana name — Cythera, Lotusland, Casa Calypso, Elysian Fields, Dionysia
• Eighth ‘eclipse coda’ painting — planned post-cruise
• 122A Ocean Walk feasibility — at Brian’s desk

Black and slate grounds, silver as the light medium, gold reserved for the final piece at dawn. At least a third of each canvas’s silver runs off the edge, so every round reads as a porthole. The show hangs the hours in order.

An Alaska-rooted fragrance, skincare, and sensory-treatment house — Sitka’s rain forests and shorelines through custom formulation, regional extraction, modern perfumery, sound, and ritual. The philosophy is confirmed; no product is locked yet.

The collection

Open threads

• First-launch category — fragrance, skincare, treatment, or a staged hybrid. The single highest-leverage open decision.
• Anemoia’s identity — stays cold and mineral, or takes a resinous almond–tonka–vanilla undercurrent
• Percival-adjacent fougère vs Anemoia — one fragrance or two briefs
• Chanter and Solstice — concepts unrecovered, never to be invented
• Awaiting confirmation — employer naming, candle & body-oil formats, retired treatment names, status of any built assets

Sensorial, exact, quietly strange. It lives in tensions and must not resolve them: marine and alpine, forest and laboratory, memory and precision. No generic Alaska, no clean-beauty beige, no detox clichés. Poetic atmosphere stays strictly separate from factual cosmetic and fragrance claims.

Founded by Evan Ipock — of Sitka, Alaska; now New York. Brief compiled 10 July 2026, spanning all provenance levels. Formula reconstruction is off the table.

Wakes when the tanks are running again.

Lower priority until actively running.

Sibling desks. Tag a thread for one and it queues under their name until you sit down with them. The money rule holds — nothing here gets improvised that belongs at Brian’s desk.
