hello,
just wanted to say a brief thank you to everyone who has bought me coffees in the last few months, wherein i've seen an uptick in folks specifically expressing their appreciation for work on the norns and softcut projects. your gesture of support means a great deal to me and i'm glad that the work is providing some joy and satisfaction.
i also wanted to share that for whatever reason, it has felt best for me to pass the money along. your kindness has allowed me to donate $500 to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank during a particularly harsh and difficult winter for my city's surging homeless population. it might not seem like much in the grand scheme but it represents over a thousand meals.
the rest of the account i mostly use to make digital purchases on bandcamp supporting independent musicians.
thanks for helping me retain a sense of connectedness and solidarity in these strange and absent times.
