what were the rules of 'throwing the this'?

Inspired by the discovery that Chernobyl has bacteria that radiosynthesise to create their energy source. 
This uses Garageband to record loops and direct freestyle recording from the Artiphon Orba, 
Some stay direct, some have been saved as WAV files and passed through the iVCS3.
You also have the “pleasure” of my voice in English and “Russian”

This track is made solely from the calls and songs of summer migrants birds to the UK. 

The percussion is Whinchat, Wheatear, Sedge Warbler and Grasshopper Warbler. 

The fluity, synthy and bassy notes are all sampled notes of Blackcap and Garden warbler song.

There is also Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler, Whitethroat, Lesser Whitethroat, Swallow, House Martin, Sand Martin, Tree Pipit, Spotted flycatcher, Swift and Cuckoo.

I  heard my first yesterday -  a Chiffchaff - always a highlight of the year for me - so this is to celebrate their arrival on my 'patch' - these are species that will be arriving over the next weeks. Blog: http://robymilling.blogspot.co.uk

Birds of Summer (entirely bird samples)

Nature Documentary

"Here’s one from my garden at around 5am, the songthrush dominates (as usual for him!)"

Dawn Chorus: Song Thrush (Hayley, Tintern)

"Recording of the 2020 dawn chorus in Bristol next to the Spire Hospital, Blackboy Hill. A male blackbird was next to me - so he dominates." Mitch Turnbull, Bramble Media.

Dawn Chorus: Blackbird on Blackboy Hill, (Mitch Turnbull, Clifton, Bristol)

A slow number inspired by Celtic and synthesized music.... a battle between simple Morris-type tunes and their synthetic counterpart.
Composed entirely from music created on Artiphon’s Orba synthesizer and played with in Garageband.... assisted by the iVCS3 and Baron [a large black “not quite a tom” cat] who provided the soft skin drum sound.
Song length 7.5 minutes.

Lament for a lost satellite (An Orba song - Celto-space Morris)

 "This album sounds like it came out of an enchanted mechanical device built from odds and ends, which has somehow acquired consciousness, emotion, and a sense of humour."

"Everything dances with life, like a BBC wildlife documentary soundtrack that has been re-composed by it's subjects."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Not only is Squinancywort's music excellent and always interesting, but I have a surprising amount of evidence that he is in fact the one true messiah, who will free us from pain and suffering forever, if we only worship him unquestioningly, and shower him with praise and gifts." (http://soundcloud.com/mr-dodo)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Squinancywort makes sounds that hum, whistle and devour themselves in one relentless forward motion.... vast, ominous and throbbing, - grows in a way that could only be through the interference of a creator (divine or otherwise)."
“Squinancywort’s sound seems full of shuffling oddities and half observed nooks and corners”
“Wonderfully off-kilter electronica with an organic edge”
