thank you sean costello for teaching me how to make planetarium music
even though I have these nice hs7 studio monitors on my desk right now, most of my monitoring has been done using my minirig mini. There is just something so irresistable about writing music for something so cute and tiny.
i really like the music that comes thru on bandcamp daily https://daily.bandcamp.com/2019/07/01/best-new-ambient-on-bandcamp-june-2019/
