Suite 2 'Happy Man'

Short release note

A week or two later than originally planned, but the upward line continues. The compilation and curation of Suite 2 (Pop) of my third Grand Spring Affair — a musical collage running 4 hours and 2 minutes under the title 'Happy Man' — is complete and has now been released on SoundCloud. 'Glory Box' is the title of the whole project.

Suite 3 (House) and Suite 4 (Finale) are still expected somewhere in May 2025, under an even stricter caveat than before. Feel free to listen and share.

The accompanying tagline for this suite is still to come.
