The Cold West Project
The Cold West project is an experimental musical project.
We have always wanted to make music but haven’t had the equipment or skills to do it until we started this project.
The fun thing about this project is how far we have gotten in the 7 years we’ve been doing this.
The tunes keep getting better and we’re getting closer to the sound we are searching for.
Hopefully, someday we’ll get somewhere serious with our music...
