10 short videos celebrating some of music's heroes. I've had fun making these throughout 2021.
The videos have in common that they reveal surprising stories about subjects that many of us know, yet don't know in depth.
These are funny and nerdy stories about fates, coincidences and events that have shaped our experiences of music.
The videos have been exciting for me to make. I hope you find them interesting to watch.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all of us at System Audio!
