The download charts show what ends up in projects. This list shows something different: the 20 tracks played most often over the last seven days. Sometimes that lines up — often, surprisingly, it doesn't.

I expected zero downloads for this strange song- I don't even know where I could use it myself... Sorry, I was experimenting and playing around with this music box melody :D
This song is what happens when a tiny music box ignores a perfectly reasonable instruction. What begins as delicate three-quarter-time innocence slips into raw ’70s funk, swells into full cinematic drama, crashes through futuristic drum and bass, and detonates into technical metal - before quietly returning to where it started, pretending nothing ever happened. One melody. Five musical identities. Absolutely no respect for genre boundaries.

It was a fantastic opportunity to learn more about Bolivia, Red Lake, and traditional musical instruments like the quena, siku/zampoña, and charango. My wife loves flamingos. The lake and the flamingos radiate a sense of calm, mystery and joy, which I wanted to capture in the song.
