I have completed as much of the document as possible right now. I don’t have enough information to complete the whole thing as I’m sure it’s not needed but I did fill out as much as I could. We don’t have a lot planned right now and I’m unsure about Will and where he is. At the moment it’s only music they have asked so I’m going to make five short demo loops to present next week. I will update the document every week.
