Messing around with some compositions inspired by Nier and Shelter in the Sky. Still a work in progress and need to layer in strings.

Studio challenge theme: Play a song that reflects your (startup) journey.

The challenge really shows though that music is universal - anyone can reflect on this and hear their own journey. We've all had tough journeys in our lives.

Many thanks to Stanford club for studio use.

Full credit for original composition to Acoustic Cafe.

Live recording.

Volunteered at a local women's shelter playing covers of songs that convey hope and resilience to celebrate both the holidays and the coming of the new year. We hope to provide thoughtful spaces to reflect and share experiences with our music.

Thank you to all the volunteers that help the community, ensure the safety of everyone with full covid-19 protocols, and fellow band members for coming out on a somewhat dreary day during a holiday weekend!

This song is originally by Acoustic Cafe - full credit to them.
