The last track that I'm going to upload for a while. I will be re-recording a few songs to release a LP under my own name. Hopefully it'll be good :) This one is another exploration using loops and delays. I hope you like it!

Another song from the archive... Written about a friend who somehow seemed to come out of her general sad manner... Thoughts go back to a lunar eclipse when the girl I was standing next to to watch it (way back in college) disappeared from sight…

Unfinished but close. Slow alt Track, Piano.

Slower alt song, about 64bpm, lowest bpm i have wrote so far. Was a bit tricker than the rest. About 20 hours over 3 days for this track. Inspiration is a little varied.
