Backstory:
In 2015, My Flight from NY to TPA had an extended layover in the Philadelphia International Airport. I planned up meeting up with my friends Cuuurls, but she was working during my Layover. So to kill time, I paid the fee to access wifi, and downloaded the theme song to "It's always sunny in Philadelphia". Quickly laid some simple drums, then chopped the sample, exported and dropped on soundcloud before my connecting flight arrived.

I planned on revisiting the session to actually put time into it, but i forgot about it for years. Then, While putting final touches on the USB's last week (12.21.21) to finalize and ship everyone's cassette orders after the new year, i stumbled upon the session, I meant to just bounce out a higher quality version. But as always, i got distracted and opened a Portal. Then another one, then another one, then another one.
I feel like I have to disclaimer this every time but, Portals are the real time process of creating in the moment. All chops, instruments, mixing and mastering is happening in real time as you hear it. I'm aware, I could easily isolate the strongest parts and just refine and release those, but Portals are special. The patient listener that hears me fall off, experiment and get weird is usually rewarded for trusting me, at the same time, you get to hear how I purposely mess things up, just to solve a problem in real time out of boredom. I think it's important to keep the mistakes and not so good parts, that way everyone can see you can recover and evolve anything. Portals are not beats. They are not Final, They will constantly evolve, and all those super dope, short gems you find in the middle of chaos will eventually become finalized tracks one day.
Separating and naming Portals is beyond challenging.
Also presenting them is challenging, cus i know it's prob in my best interest to put the strongest stuff first, but keeping them mostly in the order of real time creation just makes more sense when you take the full journey.
