About

This is my 18th RPM Challenge, and I'm honestly in a low effort mode for music. I truly phoned it in this year. All of this is poorly recorded crappy improv. But, hey, I did it.

Favourite Moment

I really did enjoy jamming with my friend around the campfire, even if the "music" we made requires air quotes.

Advice

Theremin is a lot harder to play than I anticipated. Also, I had zero muse time this year.
