Experiment & Practice Diary

This section contains video and audio of recordings, drafts, and experiments made from home to offer a glimpse into what I’ve been practicing.

If nothing else, they document ideas in development and provide a snapshot of my interests at any particular time.

Some are accompanied by video, others by a drawing of mine that hopefully captures something of the mood.
