Free Music by Peter McClard, a.k.a Sonon

Hello, friends. I decided not to "traditionally" monetize my music for non-commercial uses since I don't have representation and this is only a fraction of it. The quality of recording varies a lot and some were even taken off of old cassettes because that's all I have. I have been playing guitar since I was 8 and have always written music when I was inspired enough. While I dabble in visual art, I don't dabble in music, my first art. I hope you will listen and enjoy at least something from my collection. — Peter
