One of the things about my [Glitching Satie](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/glitching-satie-1) track that I wasn't comfortable with was that it wasn't my recording that I was using. But I'm nowhere near good enough to play a piece like Gnossiennes…

For someone who uses a computer and the internet to distribute his music, this is kind of an odd, if not ironic song to sing. However . . .

Thanks,

I realized that the levels on the first bounce of PROJECT 2 were lower than they should be, so here is a tweaked version, which is hopefully an improvement.
