Everrrrything is Borrrrring and Rrrrafael and I like it that way
I encourage you to do other things as you listen
Let sounds of your daily life mix together with these sounds
listening to July 2022 Report
is like listening to four cut-up sound collages at the same time
or watching four different films projected simultaneously
onto four screens
