Amazingly talented middle schooler's second release. All keyboard and amp although lots of different sounding noises emerge. Lots of loops, counterpoint and sparkles. Soundtrack to a floaty sunny 70 degree San Francisco day. Definitely check out his first album Fields which was Miss Information's #3 album of 2013. RIYL Terry Riley, Mark Mothersbaugh

1. (15:42) Slowed down counterpoint, underwater cautious calm exploration, twinkles, develops "drums" and beats, sounds like a glockenspiel in there, repetitive loops pick up, fade out at -:25
*2. (10:15) Experimental violin bowing and pizzicato, hypnotic rhythm, glockenspiel beep cacophony, weird
***3. (10:46) Repeated chords in syncopated rhythm, sparkles join rhythm, nice piano melody, gets complex, subtle "percussion"
4. (16:07) "guitar" lays down rhythm, piano comes in and takes over, synth bounces, drums come in, very upbeat, spins off on all these different directions but keeps coming back to variations of a central theme
*5. (7:11) Cymbal laying down the beat, recorder silly melody develops layers
6. (10:52) Random experimental noodling on piano synth sparkles layers
