Welcome to the first episode of "Let's Hear How This Sounds". A new experimental series where I document the process of writing and recording music in my home studio. I'm still figuring out exactly what I want this show to be—I'm looking forward to seeing how it evolves.

Let me know what you think—do I talk to slow? Should I explain more? Tell me in the comments!
