The Eagle Has Landed

Another bioelectrophilia tune. This one was made with two bird samples, one of them an eagle.

My Friend The Saki (bioelectrophilia)

shake your ass

more tabla/club music. this one needs some melodic work, perhaps some more instrument layering, more chord progressions... anyhow, should be enjoyable enough for now.

You make me short circuit

the lead synth line is 1/8 beat longer than other measures. It repeats 3 times at 8/8 and then the last one 9/8, which causes the lead to sound slightly more varied throughout the track. it starts a little later each time..

Jungle Love

I'm better at using my pots and pans for music than for food, so I post this tune in hunger. 3 pots, 1 pan, and a tabla.
