Logseq/Entity/Music/Recording
Music Recording
- In this garden, Music Recording pages model fixed audio or audiovisual recordings and album releases that preserve or publish musical material.
What counts
- A recording is a captured rendition or a published collection of captured tracks. It has an identity apart from the musical work and any live performance it may document.
- A studio track, a live album, and a video recording of a performance can each be recorded entities. An album page represents the release and its track order; a single-track page represents one captured rendition.
- A recording of a cover is a new recording linked to the covered work. The cover does not create a new page for the underlying song.
Naming and placement
- Place a recording under its first credited Logseq/Entity/Identity/Music as
<Identity>/Music/Recording/<Title> when Logseq/Frontmatter/created-by-identities is present. For a joint release, keep one page under the first credited identity and list all credited identities. Without a separate identity, use Person/<Artist>/Music/Recording/<Title>. Existing group namespaces remain valid until deliberately renamed. - Use the published album, single, track, or video title as the H1. Add a year or release context to distinguish recordings with the same title.
- For an album, list known tracks as bullets under a Tracks heading, in listening order. Each track begins with its two-digit, zero-padded position and a hyphen, as
01 - Dis; the padding is two digits even on an album of nine tracks or fewer. A track links to its musical work page when that work is represented in the garden, and is plain text otherwise. Tracks are never page properties.
Relationships
- Use
work:: for a single-work recording and performance:: when the recording documents a known performance event. - Album pages list tracks as numbered bullets. A work page may point back to an album with
appears-on::. - Use
cover-of:: to identify a recording as a cover of an existing work. - Use Logseq/Frontmatter/created-by-identities for published artist credits;
created-by:: and performer:: retain verified personal credits rather than being inferred from identity membership. - Use
record-label:: to link the Logseq/Entity/Music/Label that released the recording.
Instance shape
- Start each recording page with
logseq-entity:: [[Logseq/Entity/Music/Recording]] and one H1 containing its published title. - Add
performer::, date-created::, and links to the represented work, performance, or release when those details are known. - Add
logseq-created-time-year:: linking the Logseq/Entity/Time/Year page of the release, as logseq-created-time-year:: [[20/1/8]] for a 2018 album. A recording without a known year links its decade or century. - Keep tracks in the album's listening order; do not create work pages solely to complete an otherwise unknown track list.
