Ignore me!
This is a “throw stuff at it” seat-of-my-pants piece. I know I was initialy going for something in a very early Kraftwerk style, but it ended up being something else. Something hybrid I suppose. It feels a little more 80s than 70s. I probably tried pivoting to a Lo-Fi track at some point, but that didn’t take either.

This often happens to me and in the past, … Continue reading

I never guarantee that I’ll actually take the request – Song-A-Day is already stressful enough on its own without having to satisfy an audience, and inspiration … Continue reading
