This "Bits & Pieces" is a little different. It features a new version formed from a few audio clips. Specifically, #4 is an extended version where I experimented with a spoken-word i. The Internet Archive link below has 9 audio snipets with #7 being the closest to a finished song. Remember these snipets are experiments in song building, a map leading to another destination I also completed a graphic design for the composition, which you can see below.

Some definitely found their way into compositions and songs, while others remain pure sonic relics. But honestly, hearing these long-forgotten stems now is quite a kick for me. This is my first offering in the series, and I hope to share more soon. I invite you to enjoy them for what they are:...
