The sets are all fully improvised, with only an initial idea to work from. There is no editing post production except for a little mastering simply used to allow the music to sit comfortably alongside other work.

These are the initial attempts, the journey will continue, and will be an interesting one, stay locked and we’ll see where it goes.
