this tape was recorded at home on a portastudio 424 in the evenings of the summer, june 2026. riffs and lyrics are improvised at the time of recording. the beginning of this tape includes four older demos / experiments from over a year ago. all other songs were recorded this month.

my goal was to simply write uninhibited.

experiments include: using the tape machine's natural distortion, writing a demo without using strummed chords, writing a riff as slow as possible, etc.
