Kinetoscope .: 030 :. A Bit of Red Light Paralysis
I have to admit, it’s daunting to go into my studio and flip everything on and record. If you go back to an earlier Kinetoscope blog titled “Six Years” you’ll find that for various reasons, I haven’t really recorded since 2004. Am I still good? Can I still do this? Will I relearn the tricks [...]

Kinetoscope .: 026 :. Recent Listening
