Hey everybody! A dear friend of mine has done a truly wonderful reading of my latest Jam File piece, “Benchmarked“. You can listen to it here. I am extremely honored that she was inspired to read it accompanied by a lovely guitar piece.
Please check out Annie’s music & words. She’s an incredible writer & musician that I am so happy to have met via Twitter.

It’s really neat to experience your poem by listening to the audio version with guitar underneath it. I felt as if someone was relaying a dream-like time. Each interesting image flowed to the next.

That was so cool! Such a great and creative idea. I loved her accent, voice, and way of reading the text. And that was probably my favorite Jam File so far, too
