Whenever I make some music in drunken dazes I start my first jam in the days after with those blurry or completely forgotten loops, I didn’t want this jam to be any exception. Messing around on Monday night with a track on my sampler named ‘raft’ I made around 1AM on Saturday the weekend before during a flat party. It was my first time playing with my face as well as hearing the sounds I’d made on Saturday again, which made for an invigorating experience. I really enjoyed this new approach to jamming and will definitely do it again.

Drew is at a laptop, his mouth wide open in projection of sound. His face is scrunched in power. He has a headset microphone on.
