I’ve been mad busy the past few days with work, trying to combine my dissertation, business project and my portfolio and make something good.
Today I was in the studio with Alyse in Wonderband recording some vocals. Tomorrow I’ll be in the studio again giving them a mix and hopefully the track will be finished. I’ll post it up on here when I’m finished.
I’ve also...
