THE FORMATS
One ten-day road. Four ways on.
The 2-Day Intro and 5-Day Intensive are complete on their own — and they are days 1–2 and 3–7 of the full 10-Day MasterClass. Start free, stop where your practice is sustained.
ONE WORKING CYCLE
Ten consecutive live days, three phases.
Every day you anchor the work by hand, take AI leverage if you want it, and save your proof — and a no-AI path runs through all ten.
DAYS 1–2
Direction
The complete 2-Day Intro: choose the work and design a demo. Intent, listener, references, constraints — then authorship, project spine, full arc, rough pass.
DAYS 3–7
Build, finish, protect
The complete 5-Day Intensive: build the system, capture performance, find the signature, finish with life left in it, protect and prepare.
DAYS 8–10
Capstone
Advanced capstone: audience world, release system, ship + repeat — showcase, release gate, retrospective, next cycle.
THE LADDER
Every format ends in a real thing.
Each step ends with something you made, not “exposure to concepts.” Intro and Intensive credit forward into the full MasterClass.

THE TWO RULES
Everything we teach fits inside these two.
1
Use only material you own.
2
Never copy a real artist — describe attributes instead.
Focus and decide.
Anchor by hand, use AI as leverage, save your proof. AI here is a critic, a variation engine, a polish supplier — never the author. Every day has a no-AI path.
