Wavemaker.
Not a Wrapped. A record. Years of documented listening, read by a person, turned into the thing that tells you who you actually are, and the playlists built from it.
What is wavemaking?
Every member becomes a wavemaker, that's the point.
I started this to look at my own Spotify. That's it.
March 2026. No business plan. Just curiosity about my own data, a younger period of my life, how certain music carried me through different points and where I'm going today.
The 'by P' came first. The business part is new.
It turned into a craft: a way of reading a library by hand and building something real out of it, the DNA report, the playlists, the wedding sets. That's still exactly what it is. One person on the other end, actually paying attention.
Your music is a part of you. You can't always show it.
Taste is how you signal who you are. This makes yours readable: a wedding, a milestone trip, a year that meant something. You get to keep it forever, only if someone builds the thing while the moment is still here.
The big platforms hand everyone the same one-size algorithm. When's the last time someone gave you a good playlist, or you had the time to make one?
Track count or experience isn't important: we only consider what matters to you.
The read.
You think you know your music, but it's cluttered: shared accounts, road trips, someone else's phone. We clean it up so it looks like you, then build cool stuff out of it: the DNA report, Playlist by P sets, your wedding playlist. One part is automated, the filters that separate your real library from the noise. The rest is me, working with you.
We strip the noise first
The shared logins, the road-trip skips, the songs that were never really yours. What's left is the real you.
Not how many plays, but when and why
We line the music up against your life and read it together. Wrapped hands you a poster; this is a working relationship with your own taste.
Every artist you keep is a decision.
The Spine isn't your favorite songs. It's the twenty artists you actually return to. That list is not random. It's a portrait, with one idea running through all of it. My job is to name that idea.
Whoever you keep, the spine holds them.
