Loneshoreman a shoreman, alone
TITLE: Loneshoreman
DESCR: Found a twenty second, 150 px wide, video clip in my browser cache and stretched it to 1000 seconds, and added effects. For the soundtrack I snagged 24 equally spaced frames, converted those images to audio, stitched them together, and worked on it until I grew weary.

Broadly Crappy
My first long form diversion into percussion. There’s some good parts, but overall, it’s Broadly Crappy. I was floundering—mastering while arranging, while composing—by the time I got to the end I didn’t have enough stems to master. I’d’ve’d to drop back several gens and rebuild from there. Just don’t have it in me. I’ll take my lessons to the next project.
