Bastardsword: 2010 RPM(2010)

Rough demos of a few songs that I wrote in 2010 ("Bastardsword," "Heart of Space," "30 x 23"), plus a bunch of other songs I had laying around that I had never recorded before. Some wrong pitches, some issues with recording and mixing. Ambient (or "melodic electronica") is a completely new direction for me.
