Setting up a sandbox to play in
Such a beautiful drawing of a bear. Look at how the foilage in the background as well. So loose and exact at the same time. Pair with @A_single_bear.

Sounds: Ad People by Melted Bodies is crazy noisy good and nsfw, probably.
Still working through all the very interesting sounds listed here: “41 albums and compilations comprising anything from psychedelic rock to free jazz, improvised music, ethnic, ambient, electronic hybrids of all sorts, both new and reissues.” Check out Moğollar, Praed Orchestra! and João Lobo.
Also, Krust – The Edge of everything. “…his love for ultra-extended intros and long silences is firmly intact.”
