This is the first piece in the Anjuna Sessions, a seasonal piece of music produced and released by Anjuna Recording Studio, located in Portland, OR. Along with the joy of writing and producing music, the Anjuna Sessions is a way to showcase the production quality and musicianship that come with working with Anjuna Recording Studio.

It starts with one of us writing the structure of a song. Then, just like the game "telephone," it is passed to the next artist to write and record their part. It simulates the role of a session player - someone who needs to quickly learn the music and add value through their part. Once all the parts are recorded, the piece is mixed and mastered by Slater Swan, the owner and producer of Anjuna Recording Studio.
