    the part where Ben said "It's time to make music! Something that I should never take for granted." is a pretty simple but neat bit of wisdom.

    Awesome video, Ben. I had a question while watching the video on Adam's channel. Have you ever done any discussion of your guitar tone? I loove your mathy/crisp drive and would love to know how you approach tone. Ever done a video on that or would you think of doing one?

    I've finished my damper adjustments on my piano. All dampers engage when the hammer is halfway. There is only 4 trichord dampers that do not damp satisfactory anymore because they have worn out, so I've purchased some replacement felt for those. As well as new bridle straps (for the looks) ;)

    I think I would have just made a spacey loop with the voice and then slowly include the drums.
    Sort of like spacey loop turns into drum and bass speedcore type stuff. Maybe I will try because they actually put the sample in the description we will see.
    Also wow, Adam mentioned igorrr.
