i have been going through your entire website and trying to consume all the content again, but this time cross referencing each page to the others on dates so i can get a better linear timeline for how things were going for you.  did you ever sort of use the 'jazz' page recordings as sort of a warm-up or 'feet wet' exercise in getting back into recording when it had been so long since you had recorded anything?
actually it originally started as a reading exercise. but then it turned into just a way to jam, without the pressure of having to worry about everything else
