luv422 Pillow Fort

Pillow Fort

when we were small nothing felt better than climbing into a comfy pillow fort made by our own design to fit us perfectly. everything was soft to the touch with no harsh edges, filled with low light and familiar smells. when things got stressful it was the perfect place to escape. this is an auditory pillow fort and you are welcome to hide out here, from the troubles of the day, for a short while.

Skipped A Beat

to appease everybody out there demanding that i make an all experimental percussion mixtape i have finally succumbed to the pressure. Skipped A Beat has got everything you were looking for : modern classical greatest hits, rock drummers off the deep end, newspaper drum sticks, sirens, Moog drums, unhinged jazz workouts and weirdo sound explosions. the music is 97% percussion instruments played by solo artists or drum ensembles. you’re welcome.
