Everything Here Says "Mix v1"
A small parenthetical rides under every clean title in the app. Here is what it promises.

Open any track and the player gives you a clean title. Behind it, in the file I started from, every name ends the same way: "(… Mix v1)".
That suffix is a promise I make to myself.
"Mix" says this is an arrangement. One version of the song, mixed a certain way on a certain day. "v1" says it is the first authored pass that earned a release. Both words stay honest about what reaches your ears. A living arrangement. Finished enough to share, open enough to grow.
The display title drops the suffix so the listening stays clean. Hiding it from myself, though, would be a small lie. These songs keep teaching me things. A v2 might breathe differently, sit lower, run longer in a room.
I build the way I always have. Ship the version that feels true today, then keep listening. Numbering it out loud keeps me honest about both halves.
Take the title track below. Its "v1" marks an open door, not a rough draft.
So when you catch the suffix, read it as a wink. The song is done. The work keeps going.
