Due to the COVID-19 situation, I'm isolated at home. So I can't go to my recording studio down town, where I shoot all my demos. Hence this demo looks a little different since it's filmed on my very small desk in my very small office at home, which I share with my girlfriend. I think the quarantine format turned out nice though. Please let me know what you think! And please consider leaving a like, comment or sharing the video with your friends if you dig the demo. Would mean the world to me. Thanks for being awesome! - Stefan
