Just another dance mix with some poor transitions. A bit more effort went into resampling, applying effects that I think suit and post-performance touch up. As you can tell, I like it dirty. Critisisms are welcomed.

I could have called this "The Other Side of Charity." Thanks to all who have given to us and others. Special.
There's a bit of hair in the background. But I left it for it's rawness.

A piece of experimental whimsy. I took a nice piano loop from the Logic library and utterly destroyed it with The Finger. What's interesting about this to me is that I was not playing the MIDI driving The Finger but using Elysium to do so. Here…
