Sacred Harp / Shape Note Jacqueline Henriksen

A small living archive

Things I’ve built around a shape-note tradition.

An atlas for looking closely, a local model for asking better questions, and a horror game about what happens when the singing does not stop.

The Shape-Note Atlas

A source-conscious catalogue of shape-note books, score witnesses, recordings, and the places where the evidence still needs a person.

Sacred Harp, locally

A reproducible Apple Silicon fine-tuning project for asking what a small local model can learn from a carefully bounded corpus.

Hollow Square

A browser horror game set in the singing: four parts, one empty space, and a tradition that is not interested in being explained.
