and a special thanks to espacio aura yoga for their review video on the meinl galaxy, which set me off to find somebody who actually owned one to perform the part (thanks, romain!).

at the end of the day, for such a long and arduous project, i am so happy and proud of myself for not only the music being done, but for where i've grown as a person - i'm so grateful to everybody who's seen me grow up throughout the years, and i want to make it known that i love and appreciate you all <3 ill catch you all later!!~
