Hello everyone! We didn't quite make it for a Monday release (how perfect would that have been), but now Episode 3 is finally out! Thank you for supporting us and enjoy the video 😄

In our first draft of the episode the end jam was "Radio GaGa" by Queen, but it didn't quite sound like we had envisioned it. But that might have been a blessing in disguise, because we are really happy with the new ending and we also learned a lot in the process.

Moving 256 small steps across the freshly painted backgrounds for the stop motion part was tedious but also quite meditative. Beat Bunny finally got its share of instant karma for wanton destruction and we used a Stylophone for the first time (we had one lying around unused for about a decade now).

Now after five weeks of work on DM101, there will be a bit more time for transcriptions and reviews. And just as we write these lines, Behringer is allegedly shipping the RD-9. Back to the drawing board.
