My brother @paulhanisch.bsky.social released an album with some of his best tracks (so far)! He's also the composer for Mops & Mobs, by pure coincidence.

Thank you to @indigobunting.bsky.social and @pops1971.bsky.social for the GameTunes challenge and to @arthurbach521.bsky.social for MusicMeteorology. Both were so much fun to play and kept me busy. I'm looking forward to what's coming up in December.
