Today it is exactly one year ago since the first post on Everyday Listening. Oh, how time flies! 132 posts later it feels like I am only just getting into this. I would like to thank all the people who visited, subscribed, came back, commented, sent me tips and collaborated. Here’s to an inspiring sonic future!
To celebrate the first birthday of Everyday Listening I selected some of my favorite posts of the last year. As you might have noticed I like to serve a mix of inspiring links and movies, interviews, some longer articles and news. Some great new collaborations are in the pipeline, stay tuned and keep visiting the site! :)
