HTG Podcast #4: Dust and Bones

In this episode of the Head The Gong Podcast, I dig in to my creative process a bit, sharing/discussing my latest demo recording.

Summary:

    Spent all day giving birth to this… this… What to call it? Sad, weird music mixed in with a French toddler telling a story about Winnie the Pooh and a magic hippopotamus who didn’t want to go to heaven (I think), all set to 102-year-old silent film footage of Jamaica as seen from a moving train. Now I can move on to the next thing on the to-do list (mowing the lawn).
