"Metric Deception (part 1)" is the first of several tracks I'll be premiering here on the podcast. They are all "solo percussion" compositions that are recorded, mixed, and produced by...me. I'm not sure how many I'll do, but the goal is to do enough to have an album to release in some form or fashion. This is totally new territory for me, but it is a fun project to force myself to exercise some creative muscles that I haven't used in a while. Hope you enjoy the first of many tracks to come!...
