This song started as a simple dance loop my muse fed to me one day at work. I was still learning the ways of Reaper and VSTs in general, but the melody would not get out of my head, so I took it and ran with it. In the process, I learned a great deal. In fact, I probably spent waaaay more time than was necessary tinkering and tweaking and perfecting this song, trying new things, etc. I'm still not 100% happy with it, but it has more than satisfied my muse and I think it finally sounds good enough to share, so here it is!
