Mind Wave

So.. Wtf, right?

Here's what happened, in a nutshell

Stargazer Session - Stressed Out

Sorry for the delay. Waiting for the audio interface for the new MacBook Pro to arrive. But of course I had to test out the new machine.. and it turns out the built-in mic actually isn't.. horrible. 

These demo/tests I'm calling Stargazer Sessions are just throwaway audio scribbles. I have no intent of actually producing or covering these songs. This is just a fun giveaway for the listeners. I believe that given the artistic liberties I took and nature of the sampling that this is protected by Fair Use. If I'm mistaken, please let me know. In case it needed to be specified, I was riffing on a Twenty One Pilots song.
