DODOLA

This track just came together in 2022-2023 during a rainy session in the attic. The plan was simple: just play around with music. But as rain poured down, the goal became to make the song cut through that sound.

Somehow, the track perfectly synced with the rain. It even rained every day while mixing it! This one is truly special, the best production yet. It's melodic, with wet percussions, hand drums, and other sounds cutting through.
