What the Butterfly?

-
Why is there a nice colourful butterfly in my studio at 3am in the middle of winter after a few weeks of frost and ice? Does he think it's spring already?

It's been way too long... over the last year it was great to release a few tunes like fishbowl. Now, there's many hours of nearly finished tunes - at least a 4 disc album, possibly 6 discs, excluding the more recent sessions.

At one stage it was probably down to about 4 mins, but absolutely delightful to just let it flow instead of trying to cut to some time defined by others...  More of that letting a tune breath, we can hope! https://soundcloud.com/virtualtrio/fishbowl
