Sometimes I make music. Here you'll hear some material from my previous project, s e n dsent, as well as an electronic/ambient demo from some time ago that I made called, The Hotel Psychiatrist.  There are also 4 tracks from my post-rock band, Jamais Vu, from my days at university. Other than that, other tracks I make that I share here are just swatches or raw songs that I may make impromptu.
