As you can hear, in both cases it's rather different to my usual stuff, and this made it a really fun challenge for me. Here are the links to the albums:

Here are two very short, synthy instrumentals that I did a a while back. They don't really fit with the stuff I'm doing for the album (of which more soon) but I quite liked them and thought I would put them out there.
