Icthyophaga leucogaster - the 'Fish-eating White-belly'

ARRrRrR YE SCALLYWAGS!!! GO FLY THE PLANK!!!! YARRRR

Ahem. White-bellied Sea Eagles, as their name suggests, are a species of eagle that prefer places along the coast or near water. It's an opportunistic carnivore, which means it feeds on most prey it comes across, including carrion - though fishes are its main prey. For marine prey, they use a rapid down-and-backward grab while flying low over the water surface.

Part of the White-bellies' courtship ritual may feature an acrobatic feat where two birds lock talons in the air and cartwheel downward, letting go and re-ascending once near the ground (though I've not been lucky enough to see this irl). This behaviour is not exclusive to courtship though, and may be associated with aggressive defense of territory.

Locally, these birds are our heaviest and largest raptor species, measuring up to 85cm (33.5'). You might hear them before you can spot them - their loud honking calls are often heard during their breeding season. In flight, they have a shallow 'v'-shaped pose and their black flight feathers at the outset of their wings conspicuously contrast with the rest of their white plumage from afar.

The calls recorded in this track were taken from Sungei Buloh where there have been a few recorded nesting pairs over the years. Anecdotally they seem to be mobbed by House Crows (Corvus splendens) very often while in flight (in the recording a pair was being followed around by a flock of minimally 15~20 crows).

Lastly, while this bird was originally placed with Bald Eagles, Steller's Sea Eagle etc. in the genus Haliaeetus, this name, with genus Icthyophaga, follows the International Ornithological Congress (IOC)'s world bird list, following a genetic study that placed it in a newly-revived genus apart from the original from 2018. Ultimately where the line is drawn between one genus and another is a little arbitrary, so you might still see papers from recent years not mentioning genus Icthyophaga at all.

SHREDDAGE 3 SERPENT: "The Devil's Mudflap" by Andrew Aversa [Power Metal]

Lately, I've been thinking about how big-name themes (e.g. Aquatic Ambiance vs. Corridors of Time, etc) might go together. Here I combine two iconic themes: FF4's Prelude and FF6's Terra in an atmospheric/cinematic approach with some dubstep and light glitch elements. The title is a rather apt pun, given the background of how I wrote this, and how Terra began as an amnesiac.

This was inspired by Stephen Anderson (stephen-anderson on soundcloud); it primarily uses bell and pad textures from Spectrasonics' Omnisphere 2; a Chapman Stick from Trilian; 4Front's TruePianos; and various FM sounds from my Zebra2 soundbank "FM Variations". Glitching was via Illformed's Glitch 2, and some of the remaining stuff was from LA Scoring Strings, Rhapsody Orchestral Percussion, and Serum. The solo violin was Embertone's Friedlander, highly recommend it! 

Compared to my other mixes, this one probably took the longest; it took over 3 years to write---the reason being that I had gone through several memory reinstallations. I started this ReMix when I had 6 GB RAM, and back then it was tough to get Omnisphere to not unload itself automatically because I was just above the 4 GB 32-bit limit, so I was discouraged from actually working on it... Then my computer decided not to restart properly, which is when my dad helped me set up a new desktop with a faster processor... but only 4 GB RAM (oops!). And in 2018, now that I've added memory to get 14 GB RAM, everything worked out in the end---now I don't have to worry about big libraries unloading on me anymore, and I was able to finish this! Hope you enjoy! :D

Source Breakdown:
0:13.8 - 0:24.4 = Terra (0:00.0 - 0:05.7)
0:26.1 - 0:50.0 = Terra (0:05.7 - 0:17.7) + Prelude (0:00.0 - 0:40.5)
0:53.4 - 1:28.9 = Prelude (0:40.5 - 1:20.9)
1:28.9 - 2:02.3 = Terra (0:05.7 - 1:18.1) [foreground] + Prelude (0:00.0 - 0:40.5) [background]
2:04.5 - 2:21.7 = Terra (1:18.1 - 1:45.2) + solo violin
2:21.7 - 2:45.6 = Terra (0:05.7 - 0:17.7) + Prelude (0:00.0 - 0:40.5)
2:48.9 - 3:24.5 = Prelude (0:40.5 - 1:20.9)
3:24.5 - 3:41.7 = Terra (0:05.7 - 1:18.1) [foreground] + Prelude (0:00.0 - 0:40.5) [background]
3:41.7 - 3:57.8 = Terra (1:18.1 - 1:45.2) + Prelude (0:00.0 - 0:40.5) [background] + Prelude (0:40.5 - 1:20.9) [solo violin]

10.6 + 23.9 + 35.5 + 33.4 + 17.2 + 23.9 + 35.6 + 17.2 + 16.1 = 213.4
213.4/250.1 = 85.3% source

142.3/250.1 = 56.9% Terra (with overlap)
185.6/250.1 = 74.2% Prelude (with overlap)

(But since Terra has more gaps within the used melodic phrases, there is more Prelude, accounting for overlaps.)
