"Songs For Unusual Creatures"

My friend, Paul Neeley, is always coming up with the most interesting stories and links!  Here is one he just shared about Songs For Unusual Creatures.

Paul writes:  "Songs For Unusual Creatures.is a family-friendly album of instrumental
songs inspired by some of the Earth's strangest animals, such as the aye-aye, the blue-footed booby, the magnapinna squid, the blobfish, the elephant shrew, the anglerfish, the solenodon, and the tardigrade.

Songs For Unusual Creatures features many amazing guest musicians, including the Kronos Quartet, The Microscopic Septet, Margaret Leng Tan, Wade Schuman (of Hazmat Modine) and Cecilia Brauer.

Songs For Unusual Creaturesincorporates some of the most unusual instruments on the planet (to compliment the unusual animals) such as a daxophone, the glass armonica, the theremin, the stylophone, the claviola, and the League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots.

Chronicle Books will be releasing a companion book in October.

To hear samples, go to the Amazon webpage above.
