Nigel Powell: Discography and Sound Samples

This page is to showcase the music and production work of Nigel Powell. The name "The Sad Song Co." comes from my solo project, but since it's mostly on ice I thought I'd repurpose this web page to show a wider range of what I can do. It's going to get much prettier I hope...
