The Gymnopedist is a collection of sound art The Smudge put together in 2011.
It is based on sound patterns he heard one day in the 2nd grade while trying to fit his head inside of his power ranger lunchbox to hide from a bully. It incorporates many many many many namy yanm nyma samples from all kinds of music sources.
