A week ahead of our first release, we’re re-sharing this post which originally appeared on Medium. Sign up to our newsletter to follow our journey and get stories that aren’t published elsewhere.
Our new project is all about unlearning music making. As we experiment with new mental models and creative modes to build something interesting, music discovery is part of the reward of the experience. It’s also a helpful way of sharing our evolving artistic framework.
