What the water keeps

The music

Every song, recording, cover and word here belongs to the one who made it, under whichever of the artist's names it carries: ℗ & © 2026 klaxonomy. All rights are kept, except these, given freely to anyone:

• Listen here as often as you like, share the links, and embed the player wherever a link offers one.
• Keep what's offered for download, for your own listening, on anything you own.
• Build on the open catalogue, its feed and its MCP server: visualisers, players, set planners, anything that plays or shows the music, crediting klaxonomy with a link back.
• Play it out, in a set or on air, and make a remix for the love of it and give it away, crediting klaxonomy with a link back.
• Use the media kit to write about, play or show the music.

Anything more needs the artist's yes first, and these above all:

• selling it, or anything made from it;
• releasing it, or a remix or sample of it, through a label, a shop or a streaming service, or uploading it anywhere it earns;
• setting it to film, games, adverts or any paid work;
• claiming it, or anything with it in, through Content ID or any other system that claims sound;
• gathering the recordings into a library, an archive or a dataset.

Nobody but its maker may call it theirs. The water is free to drink, never to bottle.

Listening

There are no listener accounts, no ads and no third-party trackers here, and nothing is sold or shared.

• Visits are counted with the site's own privacy-friendly analytics. It sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device unless you opt out; your IP address is used only to make a daily anonymous count and is never stored. The Studio is never counted. To opt out, open any page with ?ov_ignore=1, which this browser then remembers.
• A play is counted after 30 seconds heard. To stop one listener counting the same play over and over, the site keeps a keyed hash of the connection for a day; the key changes every day and the address itself is never stored.
• A ripple you leave on a track is a moment and a colour, nothing that says who left it.
• Your volume, the visual you keep, your stars and your lists are kept in your own browser, and stay there: nothing about them is sent here. Sharing a list puts the list in the link itself.
• Listeners get no cookies. The Studio, where the artist works, uses a sign-in cookie for the artist alone.
• The site runs on Vercel and its music and data live with Supabase; like any host, they see requests as they pass.

YouTube

The Studio uses YouTube API Services to publish the artist's own music videos and playlists to the artist's own channel, and to keep their titles, descriptions, thumbnails, schedules and the channel's branding in step with this site. Only the artist uses it; listeners never sign in to Google here, and the site sends no listener's data to YouTube.

• It asks Google for permission to upload videos and to manage the channel's videos, playlists and branding.
• It keeps a refresh token, encrypted, so it can act without asking each time; the channel's id and name; and each video's id, status and public counts (views, likes, comments).
• Disconnecting the channel in the Studio deletes the token and asks Google to revoke the access. It can also be revoked at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
• A track whose music video is public on YouTube shows a still of it on its page, served from this site. Only when you press play does YouTube's own player load, from youtube-nocookie.com, and the same player is the film embed a shared link offers. What happens in it is between the viewer and YouTube. Nothing else here loads anything from YouTube.
• Using these features means agreeing to the YouTube Terms of Service; Google handles data under the Google Privacy Policy.
