If you have the financial means, supporting charity, non-profits, and companies that champion great ideas, is one way to make small, but meaningful changes in the world. Whilst it's not always clear how charitable money is spent, micro-donating across a broad spectrum, with the intention to hopefully aid a good cause, seems to outweigh the risk of corruption.

Music

This YouTube comment was once made on Serene.



What's cool is not the gratitude, but the fact Serene was written to help myself through a lonely period. Even if merely a coincidence, perhaps there's something special about music and its ability to heal; it's a great motivation.

Unless released through a label, all music will be downloadable by optional donation on Bandcamp.

Thanks Shinji 🙏.
