I’m a huge fan of science fiction, although my own genre preferences tend to run towards space opera. I remember, though, a golden age short story about a fellow who meets a bird-like alien on another planet. He and the alien have immense cultural differences, but they meet yet a third creature whose cultural differences are so great that its behavior did not make any linear sense. It might be fun to make music for that third creature.

You know sometimes that duck’s got a few too many moves for the music at hand. Maybe you need to put some headphones on him to explain his odd behavior.

I keep telling him to lay off the chocolate-covered espresso beans, but will that little yellow maniac listen? Noooooo, of COURSE not!…

thanks, Marco!

I like the idea of sci-fi soundish. Maybe I’ll get some science pictures and make a science video of it. Thanks!

Your hope is not in vain, sir ;-)

I’d love to hear you take this snippet and improve it through remixing—and thanks very much for the kind words!

It is very much in the “dark axe” genre—dark, but not entirely eschewing traditional sounds. If I did another draft, I’d make the backing noises a little less predictable, and perhaps give it more heft, as dark axe had.
