music upstream →
every artist learned it from somebody, and it’s still in the songs — audible, once you know where to listen. pick one and wade in.
step 1
start anywhere. chappell roan or the beatles — it’s all one system.
step 2
walk upstream. every artist lists the influences who made them. follow one to keep going.
step 3
listen: upstream & here. each influence plays as a pair — the older record, and where it resurfaces.
