    Happy 808 day, hear some new songs and demos from Sweet Ride

    I’ve been cranking out a bunch of songs lately, on both acoustic and electronic devices. It’s been a blast to be diving into music again.

I’m working with trixel art and usually do all my designing in one overly busy street scene. I decided to…
