wow. thanks for that, mikey. truly appreciate it. If we do get some sort of show going this summer, I think we should do some sort of live collab between sets. Soundscapes + Loops? Loops + Loops? Who knows. Something needs to happen, though, for sure.

hey man, finally got a loop recording posted... it's kind of a 'best of'... two minutes compressed from five or six. Finally gave me an opportunity to experiment with recording this stuff.

Anyway, thought you might dig it/want to check it out.
