So this is a wild one - that audio is 2 years old - Kiddo was 3 years old.  I got the Model 2 shipped to my dad's place on the east coast because we had porch pirates and I wasn't about to wait another 6 months for one so we flew out to pick it up and took the little one with us.  This was an actual conversation we were having I recorded on the mic, directly on the M8.  He was listening to some Neil Tyson and Carl Sagan audio book about the universe - like 3 year olds do I guess? - and had a lot of great questions.  I heard the notes immediately and started getting excited.

I wasn't as good with the M8 then, and was experimenting with a lot of the preloaded sounds that you'll hear in there, but I took the last week to do a proper mix, punch up the drums and add some analog synth and a choir patch.

One thing I couldn't use was his punch line when he was asking if trucks were also made of star stuff.  I said sure, he said nah... they are made of truck stuff.  He's right, a lot closer to the core of the universe than I am so who am I to question it?

Thanks for this community - I'm traveling for work so it's gonna be tough the next few weeks uploaded but we'll get it done.
