What are the pieces?
The pieces are from a project that I was working on for about a year or so and ended for the time being last May.
The project is called Goze in the Foothills of the Himalaya. I’m still trying to figure where to go next with the project and I definitely think that video combined with audio using the songs and compositions I did will be the next step,
