You're Only As Good As Your Latest Song
Another Day On Earth writes and records a new song every day – and HEAVE gets a weekly update on this adventerous project.
Hello there. Since January, because I have an unhealthy fascination with mathematics, I've been writing and recording a song each and every day.
