follow me on my main! @theepicnate
i have a tendency to lose tracks in hard drive accidents, and in general to produce a large surplus of music.

this is an account for wips and old unreleased/unfinished projects. stuff that i'm likely to release somewhat soon on my main account i don't post here. and in general i don't put up everything. i hope i can still finish some of these.

a lot of these are poorly mixed, often because they are very old or unfinished.
