Happy 2023. This was written & recorded August 2021, and finally mixed & edited just recently. Embarrassing! Playing around with recording multiple layers of piano and ostinatos. I find it a bit harmonically limiting, since all the layers need to go well together, but also freeing in a way. Having all these separately recorded layers meant I could mix them differently - give the main ostinato a more soupy verb, back off the compressor during the felted piano section, let the harmonies at the end pan out and breathe a little more.

This was originally a short set of ideas to send to a friend to think about how to flesh out into a longer song and add sound design, but services as a fun 2 minute set of contrasting thoughts on its own.
