This is my sandbox. I'm putting up a lot of process demo work here. When recording, I like to capture a lot of first takes and improvisation to get the vibe of the song. This means lots of flawed ideas are in the mix. I can make better editing decisions when I know something is already in a public space. I also just want to keep posting stuff to get it out of my head.
