Laid-back Sun is part of a series called musicbits with the purpose of sharing, discussing and listening to unpurposed pieces, unsure middle bits and interesting snippets - those tunes or combinations of sound that never made it into something deemed complete or useful. Perhaps this may encourage me to finish them, or identify interesting bits that could be adapted or brought forward in current/future work. Composer crumbs are so easy to forget, neglect and waste that revisiting and polishing these musicbits is enjoyable and insightful.
