Loving the audio quilt technique
I know that your computer networking technique is not easy.
Influences are very nicely eloquent and help us understand the motivations.
I have very little feedback because I am overall extremely satisfied and impressed by your presentation,
video, art direction, and your music. You guys rock. Anything I can do to help you continue to push your
music let me know, I am enthusiastic about getting involved with supporting you guys outside of school.
