"this project is the current state of a process between studies with sound synthesis and the searching for gender euphoric lyrical rhymes. The pictures of being submissive and hella cute.
Unsatisfactory interactions with sound and desperately redefining identity in order to keep up.
The music sounds like mmmhhhh pchhhh tschuuuuu etc. "
