For all of May 2020, while sheltering in place from Covid-19, I recorded a 1-2 minute groove every day. They range from techno loops, to remixes of old song fragments, to new piano compositions. After 31 days, I’d had enough of daily grooves for a while; the next step is to turn some of them into daily songs. Want them all? download them. Some of my favorites: the 4th, 5th, 6th, 14th, 20th, 22nd, 23rd, 26th.
