Early bird: Shipping my childhood piano

Update 2: Both piano pieces are now in the supporters-only Theme Tunes music folder which you can access via your Membership page or right here.

Update 1: Here's a #shorts of the tape loop that you heard at the end of the final piano piece: https://youtube.com/shorts/XN5vBn7N0Kc The Microcosm effects pedal has a "Hold" button which keeps the most recently recorded samples in memory and just loops those; so what you hear here are moments of my piano playing automatically chopped up and transposed in various ways by the Microcosm. I caught this on a 10 second tape loop (a tape that's been manipulated to just record or play 10 seconds of music only), and you're hearing the loop here played back from a longer tape recording of it. To me it's kind of magical that the first ever tape loop I made caught a lovely little musical moment inspired through electronics by my playing. I hope you like it.

I'll always be honest with you guys and I've been putting off making this video, mentally and emotionally, BUT I also really wanted to make it! Such is the life of a YouTuber sometimes. I hope you enjoy the journey of the end result.
