Harmony Experiment
I’m in the process of moving to San Francisco this week and next, so I’ve unfortunately not been able to put in the work I’d like to Plaid. But in between the packing and frantic freelancing I managed to get a brief texture recording done. This recording is eight vocals parts arranged into two parts backed by acoustic guitar. Let me know what you think.
