There are 61 projects in my 'Experiments' folder. It's a total mess. Every time I download a new VST, I start a song. I try to give them titles which will remind me what they are. This quite often doesn't work.

Titles include:

# a bunch of filtered delays triggered from the drums
# A Strange Pretty Thing What I Found In My Head And I Don't Know What It Is Because It Isn't A Girl
# Billabong Bob
# Blimey O'Riley (named for Babs)
# Brainwreck - Reasynth Tweakin 2 (I've no idea what that is, I probably found it here)
# Cherry Isotope (I think that's a synth preset)
# Crunchy (probably is)
# Daed Dog Dub
# Dead Dog Dub (I guess one of these should be in the recycle bin)
# Darn Speet (wtf?)
# Deepest Arpologies
# Five Seconds Of Your Life That You'll Never Get Back
# King of Win
# Kyster (named for the bloke who made the riff, I think)
# Long Clock
# Merrick (named for Christopher Merrick Hughes)
# Not Dubstep
# Not Spont (I know what 'Spont' means, but it's not particularly helpful)
# Number Stations (includes sub-directories; I'm quite interested in number stations)
# OMBD (I could hazard a guess)
# Stories For Girls (named for Pearl's Girls, the best song, ever)
# The Thesque (which is self explanatory, I think)
# Zimmer Frame (named for Hans)

I think "He Sniffs His Soul" is a superb title. I might have to steal it.
