    Pliocene is a song about deep time and extinction. Many of the sounds that make up the tune are recordings of animals from endangered ecosystems. The beat is primarily made using recordings of fish that the American military made during the cold war. The kick drum is an Oyster toad fish, and the snare a Buck toothed Parrot fish, both fish that are commonly found in coral reefs. And the main melodic sound is a recording of a raven recorded by the soundscape ecologist Bernie Krause in Algonquin national park. Bernie Krause has spent the last fifty years recording sounds from all over the world, many of the inhabitants of the ecosystems he has recorded are now extinct or endangered. The bass is made of a recording of a pig from a city farm in London.
    I am very grateful to have worked with Orban Wallace from Gallivant films who directed this video. We filmed it the morning after England were kicked out of the World Cup, which certainly changed the tone of our day. We watched the match in a strange truck stop on the side of the motorway on the outskirts of Igualada, where the balloon convention was happening, and an hour outside of Barcelona. We were due to arrive at the field that we were going to take off from at 6 am, and awoke at 5 a.m to a big thunder storm. By the time we arrived at the field and the sun had risen the worst of the storm had passed and we had to wait a couple of hours for the last of the ominous clouds to blow away. Eventually we were given the green light and began loading the gear into the balloon. From there on everything ran fairly smoothly apart from one of the camera men who was in a different balloon crash landing into some trees on his way down with a fairly young pilot at the helm.

      This is so beautiful, Cosmo. I knew I heard some animal cries but i never imagined there was something this huge behind just one song.
      Now I wanna know the lore behind Linger Longer. My second favorite track, with The Moss taking first place.

      Pretty dang impressive dude. I love the orchestral feel yoir songs have, and I love the animal sounds! 😊 (especially the marine animals, since those are some of my favorite kinds of animals) I just got into your music and you do a very good job on yoir pieces. 💛 I hope that camera guy who low-key crashed and the little pilot man are okay!

      Crazy how before reading this, I never would have thought most of the instrumentals were made by animals. It takes the best kind of people to care about the environment. Not gonna lie, the landing at the end looked pretty grim for a second there, lol.

      My radio teacher tell me the Recommended length away from a mic is about 2 fingers, and your nose is about that long, so while it is indeed silly looking it’s also practical.

    So the Apple ad has been running for awhile and I hear the lyric, "Come along catch a Heffalump." Which made me immediately race for the lyrics to "Come Along," which lead to many other songs in your catalog. I'm a lyric guy, and a poet myself. I believe you're a genius and I don't use that term lightly or often. Experience, which destroys innocence, also leads one back to it. Your poetry is proof of that. Man, I'd love to meet you and pick your brain. Right now, you're the most fascinating person in the world to me. Keep writing, keep playing, keep living, and mind the gap.

    I found your music a few weeks ago and have since listened all of it at least once a day. I am absolutely stunned, it's like hearing pure art and nature blended into one beautiful mix of awe. A part of me wants you to recieve all the attention you deserve, but another wants to keep you all to myself and treasure it. Seriously though, I hope you get so much more attention for you're stunning pieces. Best wishes my friend.
    Ps, I really love your voice. Theres something so unique about it that just tips it all off. You're truly something special.
