This song was born on the 18th of Feb. 2011. It was the last piece I wrote/recorded for the challenge. It was a very sad day for me, almost as if all my usual winter sadness was concentrated and crammed into one day. The process of writing and…

Another basement practice song as you can tell by the initial hiss. Mostly beautiful, kind of self-indulgent and a little longish in parts. I also don't remember what this one is called.
