BIOELECTROPHILIA (2012)
16 tracks by glu
My aspiration to pioneer a new genre of music consisting of using animal samples from the Amazon Basin to generate electronic music. My catch-phrase for this concoction comes from the music genre 'electronica' and a term coined by E.O. Wilson,'biophilia.'
All but 6 of these tunes were recorded, remixed, and uploaded from the jungle via satellite internet connection. The only exceptions are: In the Bamboo, The Eagle Has Landed, My friend the Saki, Another Amazonian Menagerie, and Sexual Jungle Politics.

My Friend The Saki (bioelectrophilia)
The first bioelectrophilia track since returning to the US. This song was made with only 2 saki monkey vocalizations. Note the beginning of the song which demonstrates how one vocalization was turned into part of the percussion.

Titi Monkey Duet RnB
titi monkeys duet in the mornings with their mates. I thought a smooth R&B groove would be most suitable for this sample.
