The rare and extraordinary Direct-to-Disc process offers the listener an unmatched level of authenticity and emotional depth by merging technical precision with artistic expression. It creates a unique sound — a living testimony that preserves energy and raw passion in a truly special way.
Sculpting the moment,
Like the trace left by the wind on sand,
the energy that lingers
after the moment has vanished.
No retakes,
no overdubs.
Only truth:
the musician’s pulse,
the voice in its purest form.
Every vibration becomes matter,
every mistake reveals human beauty,
every silence holds a sacred space.
The groove is living memory,
it preserves the purity of the moment.
A capsule of the now.
An offering to the future.
A testimony that,
once,
we were here.
ALBUM NOTES
On November 9, 2023, Jenny Beaujean (vocals), Christian Balderas (Hammond B3), Juango Gómez (electric guitar), and Juan Ale Sáenz (drums) joined forces with a team of engineers and a group of listeners to create a singular, unrepeatable moment — recording four unreleased tracks direct-to-disc.
An extraordinary and captivating process where each side of the record is captured in real time, in a single take, without edits. This represents both a technical and artistic challenge, where talent is talent, and mistakes are a natural part of human beauty.
Beyond the technicalities, the experience was magical. Jenny and the Organ Trio moved us deeply with a performance filled with soul, creating a powerful sonic mass, rich with nuance and texture — one so expansive that it shattered the illusion of sequential time, immersing us in a resonant dimension where a single present moment was created, one we all surrendered to.
The vibration traveling through that elastic medium — converted into mechanical energy — was directly transferred to the cutting stylus, which sculpted the spiral groove into a lacquer disc, bringing to life the master record as a living, raw, analog imprint of that musical moment.
We chose to make this imprint a lasting time capsule, with minimal environmental impact. As soon as the master disc was cut, it was shipped to the Netherlands to be replicated on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) discs — a new type of analog record that offers greater durability during playback without loss of quality or wear, unlike traditional PVC records which degrade more quickly and require 90% more energy to manufacture.
On January 23, 2024, the listeners returned to witness the authenticity of the recording by listening to the test pressing on a high-fidelity sound system.
Evoking remembrance, the space was lit and arranged just as it had been on the day it all began.
As the music played and a drumhead spun at 33⅓ RPM — the same speed at which the master disc was cut — the listeners, immersed in deep listening, picked up brushes and paints to translate revived sensations into abstract forms full of color and energy-laden strokes.
After all this, I wonder: what really happened?
To tell the truth, I can’t explain it — I only hope the echo of what still vibrates in the air, and the energy transformed into form within this record, can carry you into the present moment, where it connects you with the beauty of human encounters.

Special thanks
To every person who was present that day, and to those who now listen with an open heart.
Warning: At the end of the second track on Side A, you’ll find a mark that may cause a loud pop. We recommend lifting the needle as soon as the audience applause ends to protect your stylus.
The impact mark occurred during the shipping of the lacquer master to the pressing plant and was replicated in every copy.
