WZ Oblique Techniques — Alpha Release

WZ Oblique Techniques is a creative prompt deck inspired by Brian Eno’s Oblique Strategies, but built around practical, specific techniques drawn from songwriting, arranging, performance, recording, production, mixing, mastering, and sound design.

Choose a creative role and category, then draw cards for focused actions you can try immediately. Each card links back to its underlying concept—and, when applicable, the artist or practitioner whose methods informed it.

This is an early alpha release. Features, wording, categories, and card behavior may change as the deck is tested and refined. Feedback about unclear techniques, display problems, navigation, or unexpected behavior is welcome.

Current release: v0.1.0-alpha.2
Contents: 594 technique cards
Platforms: Modern web browsers on Mac, iPhone, and Android
Security QA: 105 checks passed, with no warnings or failures
