This episode is work safe.Bits and Pieces is the full length solo album from producer and musician known as LSA. It contains a mixture of trip hop, drum-n-bass and downtempo tracks that are sure to please. I created several drum and bass tracks and put together my 5 song EP "Underwater Blues". I then came to realization that an album was in order. That album is "Bits and Pieces". I named it that because all of the tracks are snapshots of a lot of sounds, samples and instruments I pieced together from all over the place. I really tried to work hard not to pigeon hole myself into one style or form.
