Name: Daikaiju | Friend of All Children [Live demo] by badgerflower in Daikaiju - Live | Demos
Duration: 3 min 46 s
Description: Daikaiju unreleased Demo recorded to 4-Track analog tape. Written by Aaron Rathz (Guitar), Santanu Mitra (Guitar), Marc Elliott (Bass) and Elijah Horgan on drums.

I was a guitarist and occasional bassist in the band Daikaiju from 1999-2007. This is a collection of the songs I was most proud of writing, co-writing and that, apart from a few, were never officially recorded. So, these are all either board recordings from a live performance or recorded live in one take during practice (Live Demo). 

I've also included the original recordings from our self-released The Phasing Spider Menace EP (The Phasing Spider Menace, Choujikuu Mitsukai, and The Final Phase). Santanu re-recorded 2 of these songs for Daikaiju's 2nd CD, but these are superior, IMO, both in production/recording and in performance as the original authors are performing them. 

I play bass on Wraithe's Bane and Friend of All Children, which were written by Aaron Rathz, one of the founding members back in 1999. He plays guitar on these recordings.

Unreleased Daikaiju Demo recording recorded to ADAT. Written by Marc Elliott (guitar), Santanu Mitra (guitar), Brian Murphree on Bass and Milburn Lominick on Drums. 

Ogopogo or Naitaka (Salish: n'ha-a-itk, "lake demon") is the name given to a cryptid lake monster reported to live in Okanagan Lake, in British Columbia, Canada. Ogopogo has been allegedly seen by First Nations people since the 19th century. The most common description of Ogopogo is a 40 to 50-foot-long (12 to 15 m) sea serpent.

Mimetismo (VIDEO on description)

ESA's Euclid space telescope is creating the largest 3D-map ever made of our Universe, to study the most mysterious cosmic components: dark matter and dark energy. While scanning the sky, Euclid snapped a breathtaking image of Messier 78, a vibrant nursery of star formation.

This audio is a sonification of the image, where the twinkling sounds represent the galaxies and stars in the frame. The steady undertone rising and falling in the background corresponds to the swathes of interstellar dust in the image.

Cosmic Jingles: listen to Euclid’s image of a star nursery

Originally composed for the robot battle scene in the Paperhand Puppet Intervention show "Love and Robots". A work conflict prevented me from performing with the production so this piece remains unattached. 

Battlebots

Easy going ambient piece with a tension building end.

Slow Strolling

Faster tempo percussive piece with a droning didgeridoo for good measure.

Wavedrum Assault

Horrorshow

Sleep filled with tense dreams that is...

Sleep

Slower paced mellow piece with lush dronescapes and the sparse melody of the Chinese hammered instrument, the Kim.
