MySpace Artist Feature #3 - He Then Took The Shape Of A Lion

I've always been fond of doing such minimalist sounds via your computer.My attempts of doing something like this have been different,since I'm a "n00b" at working fruity loops the last time i had it.This is one of those artists that do a good job in this genre of bedroom/computer music/etc...

Go to the myspace link below and download the songs.
