Name: If It Looks Like Magic by Amateur Ornithologist
Duration: 4 min 35 s
Description: A slice of gothic post-punk about the Cottingley Fairies.

A life affirming song for the 21st century - for anyone who feels in between...in between culture, religion, race or sexuality.

Imagine The Beatles meet 70s Pink Floyd with a cosmic spaced out vibe.

Story:
Notorious Ninja

Story Setting:
No Shadow Man was tormented. Everyone seemed to forget his existence, and Phat Cats were no exception.

One day, No Shadow Man hears rumors about a legendary ninja known as Notorious Man. Despite being a ninja meant to stay unseen, Notorious Man lived up to his name, being infamous. It was said that he possessed a ninjitsu that could alter his own and others' presence. No Shadow Man thought that if he could meet Notorious Man, perhaps his own presence could be amplified.

On a certain day, following a rumor, No Shadow Man finds Notorious Man at a casino he had decided to visit. It was an easy spot. Not exactly stealthy like a Ninja Turtle, but here he was in all his flashy appearance. "This guy’s ridiculous, standing out like a sore thumb!", thought No Shadow Man.

"Fine. I'll enhance your presence. But only if you beat me at roulette," Notorious Man, clad in flashy red ninja attire with a flushed, drunken face, declared.

Another artist who loves the Volca Drum and Microfreak!  This is part of an open collab with Tea R. Sea on the track SOCIAL FABRIC.  I used the Microfreak for sample "crowd noise" and a new Volca Drum freestyle under the beats.

Amateur Ornithologist are a weird pop group from North East England. Starting as Daniel Clifford’s solo project, AO has grown to perform as anything from a five-piece to an octet.

The band have earned comparisons to Talking Heads, The Beach Boys and local heroes Field Music due to their adventurous approach to densely-layered, harmony-filled pop.

The band’s neurodivergent members have found a home for their musical expressions; fusing pop, orchestral, jazz and rock influences to create a grand melodic sound.

AO launched their 2nd album, Building the Bird, in 2022 with a sold-out live debut, playing more packed-out and acclaimed shows throughout 2023 while developing 3rd album Hide. They were runners-up at the Radio Wigwam Awards 2022, and have received support from BBC Introducing, Amazing Radio, NARC and a host of radio stations and blogs.
