STREAM_04 MAY 27

apologies for the lack of streaming these past couple of weeks—

i've been swamped with tour preparations, as well as moving living spaces.

i'm currently on a tight tour schedule with yeule, but will have a day off on the 27th of this month—i will upload a 2-hour long stream that day to make up for lost time.

thank you for your support & patience :)

UPDATE | moving forward

first off—apologies for the radio silence recently.

as some of you may know, i also have a separate music / performance project called FITNESSS—

and more recently, i've been working with yeule, primarily as their touring drummer.

i've been consistently traveling and performing with these projects since last november.

lately, the commitments have grown significantly with these other projects, making it tricky to carve out the time needed to consistently post tutoria...

SAMPLE IMPACTOR instrument rack + project file

I am currently on a FITNESSS tour and will be in china for the next week—and as you may know, youtube is banned here—so it is quite difficult to post video content at the moment.

so i've created a .zip available for all patrons, including the SAMPLE IMPACTOR Instrument Rack, as well as a supplemental .als project file + .rtf explanation file to help you maximize its potential.

a demonstration video is still in the works, and will be released soon on youtube—
