No Scratch - Alex Heflin (ft. J. Hurlock) Alex Heflin 2021-03-26 | This was the last track on the album that I finished up. I had an idea to make a funky riff-based acoustic song and I thought that J. Hurlock would be the perfect compliment on rhodes.

Hindsight - Alex Heflin Alex Heflin 2021-03-26 | And the genre journey continues! "Hindsight" is a synthwave inspired tune in 7/4. This one is a bit of a trip.

Headed Home / Come On Down - Alex Heflin Alex Heflin 2021-03-26 | This track was a bit intimidating to write. I've never attempted to put together anything that could be considered traditional on the mandolin before, so I reached out to a few friends about putting together a crooked old time tune.

Five Dollar Wine - Alex Heflin (Bad Snacks Beat Battle Vol. 10 2nd Place) Alex Heflin 2021-03-19 | Here's another strange one. I decided to take up learning both Ableton and upright bass as a quarantine project. This is is the first thing I have made thus far with ableton, and I'm finally getting somewhere with the bass.I made this for Bad Snacks 10th beat battle, and thanks to her incredibly supportive community I learned enough in a few weeks to squeak in at second place. All of the audio is flipped samples except for the bass and guitar, which I recorded.Subscribe: https://bit.do/alexheflinsubscribeWebsite: alexheflin.comBandcamp: alexheflin.bandcamp.comTwitter: twitter.com/alexheflinTumblr: blog.alexheflin.comDiscord: discord.gg/8eSYfzN

Floot - Animal Crossing Type Beat Alex Heflin 2021-02-05 | This is an interesting one for me. A couple weeks back I participated in Bad Snack's 9th beat battle. For those who haven't done anything like this before - everyone who wanted to participate was given the same 10 sounds and had to make a full track using only those 10 sounds. This was my attempt.
