A collection of improvisations, meditations, and grooves.

The 'February Challenge' is a tradition I began with a music school friend during the pandemic. We aimed to record a musical idea each day for the month of February, and then share it with each other. The ideas don't have to be substantial, fully fleshed out, or flawless. What matters is the creative juices flow each day. It was a reaction to the pandemic (which had a way of sucking away creative motivations) but became a great excuse to experiment with new ideas, sounds, and synths. The selections herein are from the second year of the February challenge.

FC tracks were created in 30 mins - 6 hours, while the non-FC tracks were 2-3 day projects.

Instruments: Nord Stage 3, Yamaha Absolute Hybrid Maple Kit, Zildjian Cymbals, Gon Bops Cajon
