Birds of Prey
Instructions unclear: tried to record a symphony, accidentally summoned a glitch demon from the fifth dimension. Left the recording running because the demon had pretty good rhythm.
Mood: predatory, soaring, violent, orchestral, relentless

Behind the Song
Instructions unclear: tried to record a symphony, accidentally summoned a glitch demon from the fifth dimension. I decided to leave the recording running because the demon actually had pretty good rhythm.
"Birds of Prey" is the most aggressively orchestral track on the album. The cello and violin aren't accompaniment here - they're predators. They circle, they dive, they strike. And the electronic production acts as their hunting ground, providing the thermals they ride and the impact craters they leave behind.
The track is recommended for anyone who likes their emotional orchestral music served with a side of digital violence. The strings are doing the heavy lifting emotionally while the bass design is doing the heavy lifting... physically. To your speakers. I'm sorry about your speakers.
