"Samples from a lake hidden under 800 metres of ice contain thousands of microbes and hint at vast ecosystems yet to be discovered."
2.
Plucky extremophiles stowaway pon' a silvery craft bound to mars
3.
This track's harmonies were created using solely a.imachine learning using the Bach Google Doodle (look it up) the rhythms are informed by the resulting parts from the machine learning leading to a dub infused forboding piece. .

"Queening" = a pregnant cat mother expecting a litter Chirp tune is chiptune for felines! a track in five four made for a pregnant cat and her kittens in 2017

Nice swan, Sharp beak, Bubonic fleas, Knees! ~~ A little rod shaped bacterium called Yersinia pestis caused the bubonic plague, lying within fleas themselves (presumably all six knees,) which in turn dwelled in the stomach's and fur of rats driven inland into major cities in Europe. Hail the extremophile! Bringer of doom!

#1 is based around a sequence created using the "Moon" instrument in Bjork's Biophilia app. Thats the first thing you hear here.

#2 was written and performed in my kitchen using such objects to hand.

#3 was created in one sitting using the Bach Google doodle machine learning a.i for all the subsequent harmonies

#4 is a radio ident created for Nat Gavin's Bogfm toilet radio station based at Dont Drop the DumbBulls, docklands, Liverpool

#5 Features Mabel the cat and was written for her and her unborn kittens. Mabel chose the sounds she liked with a simple meow (two of which is featured here). That night she gave birth to her kittens.

#6 "Protein Folding" is the proccess some extremophiles undertake in order to hybernate and essentially become indestructable for extended periods of time.

#8 contains a sample of some daft as ah brush Welsh conservative which "might" be out of context

#9 Features the wonderfully succinct and well spoken Kayla Carpenter as our guest voice, the track is about the bubonic plague and it's bearer the extremphile rod-shaped coccobacillus bacteria,Yersinia pestis.


#10 contains samples of the wonderful Becky Rose found elsewhere on this site on Quiver and A Season Dissolved, amongst other tunes. My choral parts were mostly recorded in the cloister chamber at Worcester cathedral.

#11 was created to try out anew 60 watt vox amp i purchased, the only offering here with Omnichord. The title comes from an unrecorded Meteor Street song (find juxtaposed in a pantechnicon elsewhere on the site)
~~
NOTE - Tracks 1 - 11 are the album and loop as such round forever
Track #12 is the surprise bonus and not the album. So when burning CDs or making a playlist, remember that
