Hi!
Over the last month and a half I’ve been tinkering away at this little radio piece/headphone listen. It’s composed of some found material and some original work. I wanted to send out a little hope, and capture a little of what I’m feeling in Melbourne right now. This is the first of a few episodes I currently have planned.
If you’re interested, I’d love to hear what you think. Ideal situation: put the headphones on and go for a walk; or grab a cup of tea, and pencil in 20ish minutes to listen to some music and other things.
Big thanks to everyone who contributed to this and to future eps already. Especial big thanks to Kayla, who really reshaped this into something a lot better once she started co-producing it with me.
Love you and miss you all,
James
PS. If listening to it on the website is too annoying, you can right-click on the link to download it, or write to me and I’ll send it in whatever format you like.
PPS. Send it on to whoever you think would like it! I just didn’t want to broadcast it wildly.
