I've been thinking about releasing something for a long time. I've been using the Nagra III to capture the live loops/sequences I've been doing over the last few months during quarantine. This is a window into my own creative process, personal tastes, recording experiments, and sonic explorations. I kept on recording new ideas over the old ones, while making sure to preserve the ones that I liked. This is a complete reel of how it turned out. I hope you enjoy these recordings as much I did making them.
