Wild Kratts ~ Epic animal cartoon

https://youtu.be/KOPOOHCWbA8?si=0xjQ4S18KLX0I6oB Highly recommend these guys. Wild Kratts. It's a cartoon made by Martin and Chris, brothers who imagine what it would be like to have a particular animals ability each episode and make creature power suits to experience life like them. It's probably the most educational thing my kids watch. They really are incredible at presenting the creature and what's important to know about them. Can't recommend these guys enough 🔆




The coolest word I learned making this...

SENESCENCE

"First, in an evolutionary sense, senescence is the progressive physiological process of deterioration leading to a decline in fitness with age," so when an Octopus male delivers eggs to a female with its specially evolved arm just for that it turns senescent and dies. The act of doing this sends the female to a den where she cares for the eggs and then she too turns senescent and dies...

They both DIE to Create more. It's so epically sad and amazingly creative at the same time. The only way their DNA can continue to curate the world...
We could look at this as extremely solid in an evolutionary sense. As humans we need to do a lot to keep.our gene pool going. Not Octopus. Once they get jiggy... they know what time of day it is for their future and their offspring. I suppose they are here a good few million years more then humans so they must know this place better then us! They survived Chicxilub. Ain't no way humans could do that unless we stop it happening. If one like that hits again it's game over unless we turn into Octopus or something....

I wonder will we be able to teach animals how to create art in the future... Or better still I wonder do they already make art... & we just don't understand or recognize it yet

Lyrics

Hey clever sea satellite
How are those eight arms?
Or those three hearts?
Hidden middle Jurassic star

For the bully,
Use ink...
Camouflage
Who could ever know where you are?

Dare you go senecent
Will he use the arm (Ref: YouTube Below)
And send her to the death of den
Now new venom spawned
There, more cellular senecence
'Bilateral symmetry boast
Torpedoes take your tango

Let's grow

Hey clever sea satellite
How are those eight arms?
Or those three hearts?
Who got you sussed ..
I am an Octopus

Reference YoUTube .. sorry it's not a knowledge ref it's a comedy one ... This line keeps reminding me of the scene from Hot Tub Time Machine where the character loses his arm. There's then a whole play on it through time as to when the arm goes.... It's hilarious and completely unrelated but sure...

Notes:
More nature passionately... This song was seeded by a talk on the radio I heard the other day discussing how AMAZING Octopus are...


maybe get an album together of...

I am (animals)

to add here:
to mention - beak // skills //suckers

change lyrics at end to 'You can never have me fully sussed, 'Cause I am an Octopus'

bring in scaled single note piano. Maybe 8 notes a phrase, then 3 to represent arms and hearts 


Get the kids to draw the anatomy and use that for song pic. I'm fact use that to teach them the anatomy of all the animals in the albums songs. Ted has picked Cheetah next 👌🏽🥲


Next one...

I am a Cheetah

Built for speed.
Short bursts
You better catch it quick if you wanna eat!
Short paces blistering
Some Gazelles of Thomson miss the green
You end their scene
By Cheetah clean
Moulding more speed for your seed
The hunting dream
by pur Cheetah hands
We'll see the fastest lands
Bolts of existence
Your fastest feline friends





Idea: Consider a new alternate more positive artist name for this material and make it more attachable to and run it seperate from TBD

"The Gaia Group" You could make this a 50 track artist straight off the bat taking relevant TBD songs away

I am an Octopus

A song written for June Wichmann, performed by “Fortunate Find”

Hey EP,

Let's work things out across that water
There's a cable under sea,
We can send all sorts of...
Music/Words - It's insane!
Look man,
That's life in the fastlane
So it's ones and zeros
Mine and yours and theres
We're all heroes
Watching the fire,
From a distance we're warm
But not from the fire,
From this musical charm.
It's a bonfire,
An inferno.
Earth got plenty to turn off.
So we can sing to love...
And we can play for more dove.
Let's combine our powers guv
A Paddy/Yankee toasted sandwich
Whatever be..
Beats or bass.
Got 6 strings keys or cries.
All graced.
Dear Josh,
You Entheogenic Psychonaught
Here's the first EP & TBD
Collective lands
Psyched for more free

#LifeProTips - A conversation about life, choices, trying to cheer up a friend and give some big decision support.

Lyrics:
I noticed you are hurting.
You seem a little blue.
I know you think, I'm a little weird.
But I’ve learned a thing or two.

Some things I’ve learned at random.
They helped me push on through.
And I just want to tell you 
Cause, honey, I love you.

Wash your face with toothpaste, hon',
Just once in a little while.
It clears your pores and wakes you up,
And just might make you smile.

But of all these, the most important one.
I learned through trial and error, hon’

It’s better to be alone than hurting.
A true friend lifts you up.
I hope your love is a true friend.
If not, then give it up.

If your hands are feeling rough,
Here’s something you haven’t tried:
Wash with Caesar salad dressing,
Might make you laugh inside.

It’s harder to leave than to settle,
But staying can cost your soul.
It’s better to speak than be silenced
By one who needs control.

Try cleaning when you’re shitfaced,
It gives you OCD.
You’ll wake up to a tidy place,
With zero memory.

But of all these, the most important one,
I learned through trial and error, hon’

It’s better to be alone than hurting,
A true friend lifts you up.
Take care of yourself first, darling.
You're way more than enough.

But of all these, the most important one.
Is you.

Love Just Isn't

Going Home

I started my songwriting career playing in a power trio in the late 80's and early 90's as Singer and Guitarist around London and Essex, England. Moved to Brighton, England in the mid 90's and formed another power trio which became a 4 piece and had some success around the millennium supporting well known bands and playing headline shows around England.

Around this time I met Tony Clarke, best known for producing the Moody Blues and many other great acts. I worked with Tony for over a decade and he taught me the fundamental elements of mixing and producing. Many years later I met Mykel Dunn who ran his own studio in Kent, England. We started writing together and he completed my education in mixing. Myke and I went on to write music for TV shows and adverts and are still great friends and music partners. 

I recently had the absolute pleasure of producing, mixing and playing backing instruments on Ryan Athey's first album 'Next Same Town' which has been successful in it's first few months of release.

The pieces I post here are my own. Written, performed, mixed and produced entirely by myself  in my home studio in East Sussex, England (apart from a couple of numbers in Bandolier which were collaborations with Mykel Dunn). 
I am in my element when creating sound and enjoy experimenting with different styles ranging from Pop, Rock, Folk and Country to Orchestral, Ambient and Electronic. I don't use AI engines at all but It's all music to me and I hope you enjoy what you hear.
