True story. Christmas day, I met a black woman named Jesus living on the streets of Des Moines. I brought her water and she named me Water. Still, I find myself at the intersection of white guilt and white saviorism. To succumb to either is to…

I sampled and chopped to extract some chords from a lovely rearrangement of an anime bgm that Poloma from the REM group made, based on "In The Fall", from Yuyushiki https://youtu.be/NwvXD9yb558?si=SWC1AwZW0CEm732D I experimented with a few…

This song was another SD Compo entry of mine, specifically from round 87 back in 2014. This rendering features a number of tweaks to fix the mix, like adjusting levels, EQ, compression, and adding some spectral processing to smooth out what was…
