Diamonds aren't the only thing forged under pressure - some things are darker. What Carbonado lacks in purity it makes up for with sheer toughness. Naturally black, it doesn't reflect light - it absorbs it. Witness this distortion of carbon, formed from intense pressure under mysterious circumstances. Featuring electric guitars, bass, and drumkit.

It is a dark time for the Funk. Although the Square Beat has been destroyed, Square troops have driven the Funky forces from their hidden base and pursued them across many tonalities. Evading the dreaded Square Dancers, a group of syncopated musicians led by a funky tenor sax has established a new secret riff in the remote key of Bb minor. The antiquated Lord Harpsichord, obsessed with finding the tenor, has dispatched thousands of remote metronomes into the far reaches of rhythmic space....

It's tough enough having a good memory as a human, but at least we come with built-in heuristics to make things up as needed. For our burgeoning robotic brethren, memory is more deterministic - and this is both a boon and a bane.

Paul Desmond likely intended his seminal cool jazz work, "Take Five", to refer to taking a brief respite from labor.

Hear and consider - kickdrums, notes exquisite yet eerily dissonant, turning every corner hot. Now, opine - should one never gainsay?

This frog knows your deep, dark, inner secret. Fortunately, he's a frog and cannot vocalize in a human-understandable manner. But he knows that you know that he knows, and he will forever gaze at you to express his recursive knowledge. Featuring dinging and donging from acoustic guitar, drums, deep bass, piano, vibraphone, and more.

Buzzing, tantalizing, coursing through our nerve endings - we all know it's best not to scratch an itch, but what if it is in self-defense? Folly, you may say, but let those who don't itch cast dermatological judgment. Featuring a variety of scratchy itchy scrapey synthy stringy blippy clicky sounds.

Invincibility is contextual - aspects that impress natives may feel differently to travelers. Does conventional strength override these other concerns? Perhaps in some narratives, but surely, as with entropy, nuance propagates and wins in the end. Featuring acoustic guitar, Hofner bass, drum kit, flugelhorn, and vocaloid - perfect in its pitch, if not its humanity.
Topics: acoustic guitar, flugelhorn, vocaloid, vocal, lyrics, hofner bass

Some say the nation will end in red, Some say in blue. From cable news I've watched with dread I hold with those who flee from red. But if it had to fall anew, I think I know of enough greed To say that for delusion blue Can too mislead And it would do. Featuring a patriotic assortment of drums and brass.

When technology encroaches on nature, what was once plentiful dwindles. What is the nature of progress, and what truly persists? Perhaps the distinction between artificial and natural says more of us than it does of reality. Featuring piano, trumpet, strings, and various synthesized, percussive, and metallic sounds.
Topics: orchestral, synthesized, fusion, piano, trumpet, strings, percussion, metal, dramatic
