This album is what it is. Just little things that didn't fit anywhere or discarded projects.

The title says all. These are just little things that couldn’t find a proper place elsewhere. So now they’re cluttered in this sort of mini album. Excuse the random clipping at two points of it. It’s really just little things.

I think "little things" is about 70% only okay. Hehe.

Familiar faces is a song that I created when trying out my brother’s Virus TI. Which explains why there is a lot of clicky-ness. I didn’t quite figure out how to get around the limitations of the synth and I kind of overwhelmed it.
—C418, C418.org
a little thing I made on christmas eve. I made it to learn how to operate the Access Virus TI. Glitchy little synthesizer. It loves to do a lot of popping noises whenever it does too much.

“hotel music” is a little thing that I created when I was dead sick off a flu I got in Stockholm. I couldn’t really get outside, so I tried to kill time by making music.

A short tidbit of bullshit
—C418, SoundCloud
“sod” is a style of music that I used to do a lot around that time. Basically take a general mood and jam on it until the song gets too long, haha.
—C418, C418.org
Hm, sod has a little (fake) clipping at the beginning... well... it's just for two seconds, so what gives
—C418, Twitter
I always wanted to make a progessive electronic album. Sort of like this song here, but a complete album like this
