About

Original intention was to complete a full album, but even as many songs were recorded, they were missing the mark except for this one. It was a cold, rainy day and it started with a field recording of that rain falling that inspired this. Not an original concept, but I wanted to capture the somber and otherwise quite time.

Favourite Moment

If you listen to the background field recording, which is looped, you can hear a 'ping' as a raindrop hits a metal tub. It's a wonderful bit of randomness.

Advice

Spend more time experimenting, but life seeems to always get in the way.
