The outside view
The industry own memory, the ceremony where the people who shape sound decide each year which tools and which lives will be remembered.
- Authority
- Preserve
- Outward
- Operational
Their shape
The Legacy
Faithful to what was handed down.
The Legacy is devoted to continuity, carrying a tradition and an identity across generations. Its gift is stability and deep institutional memory, its challenge is making room for change.
Also reads toward The Guild and The Movement.
Strengths
→Unmatched continuity and a trusted name.
→Decisions honor a long arc, not a news cycle.
→Members feel part of something lasting.
