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 noise rythym piece..how do you spell rythym anyways geez, its always underlined.

This song contains some of my best harmonies that are perhaps not the most well executed. My original thought was that this would be a duet, with my voice taking the low part and an alto or mezzo soprano taking the higher part. Anyone want to…
