Edward Givens

Almost as though they hadn't thought it through thoroughly, making it rough for everyone😐

that's one soulful Largo

totally. it's always going to need fiddling with because we are always moving, and changing our perspectives even if incrementally.
I try to get it to the good but not TOO good point. I used to over work it and it lost luster.
flaws add character. some flaws🙄

wonderful. sparked a memory of hiking in the Cascade mountains, when I was a kid. we arrived at a lakeside in the evening and beheld 1000s of tiny frogs - they must've just hatched

finished? good one. when is it finished with you? (with a nod to Picasso)

I lost all session tracks to 2 albums. disk corrupt for one dropped a spinning disk for the other.
glad storage is cheaper these days

if I were a zoon animal, so would I

One of my favorites! thanks
for you
I really love this version of this song - very simple and we could all use songs like this, what with the "jaded underworld riding high". need to be kind to each other

this clown - the facial expression. It hits me as tragic and self condemning. Pagliacci after the murder? It's subjective but that's how it hit me. Fantastic work

Thanks Andrew. now I'm unraveling the mysteries of shipping via Bandcamp etc.📦 Discogs seems bent on making it complicated, but moot point as they still haven't "approved" me yet.
Ebay oddly makes it really easy to ship internationally. Probably going to make a listing there as well.

electro-chaabi. great sounds!

Open The Door, by Dokpetra from the album Song-A-Day

Super catchy! and a positive vibe that hit me just right. Great singing. Awesome splappy bass line too. If ever there's a song that makes you want to "snap out of it", jump out of bed, and do something - this is it.
favorite line: "the past is not your chew toy anymore!"

got the thought via George Braque:
"limitation of means engenders new forms and give impetus to creation"

a friend's profile with the legend "always striving for the music to be better than the posting"

Totally.
some of the composers forums come off like that - "Oh! If only I had such and such a $2000 string library" or whatever. And yet there are other folks with an old mpc and a digital 8 track and such who make killer music. actually a few limitations can be helpful.

can't even turn on a dime.
it's 2 bits anymore

something inside
is telling me
that I've got your secret
are you still listening?
fear is the lock
and laughter
the key to your heart

thanks! super helpful

my car get 50 rods to the hogshead and that's how I likes it!

Awesome.
This might be my favorite slurm yet, and I'm not even slurmin'

but I am super jazzed about the physical disk arriving.
I just gave it a test spin and it looks and sounds good (which is a relief)
Working out the shipping thingamajig over the wknd📦
