Another track labelled ‘hahm’.

I almost BINned everything AUdibly RALated to this.

I’m too lazy to come up with a sentence that has ‘beat’s’ in it.

Field recording of an alarm, chopped and screwed.

Chopped by an eq that is, hoooo. And a compressor.

Piano and water were recorded at the same place,

so you’re not allowed to be mean and think I just decided to throw some water sounds on top.

That’s not me. I only throw awkwardly recorded field recordings of people walking on top of everything. Embarassing!
