Episode description
This song is called You Must Explain the Delta Variant to Your Parent and Reschedule Your Flights. (I drew from life experience.)
I wrote it in response to this Junto challenge, which asks you to play a theme as yourself, then as two other identities.
I've been mostly making music by programming and clicking on piano rolls for the last few years, but I feel like that gets you very diverse sounds, and my stuff doesn't seem consistent enough for an identity yet. So, I played the "self" part on guitar.
The other identities are a free jazz musician (I have no idea how free jazz works, but I had fun learning you can have a fast, aggressive trumpet sound) and a dumb computer program that takes rough directions for making riffs, then makes a bunch of random choices. (It's sandworm, a weird thing I made eight years ago.)
