After the first track of a new WEB&CXXXVI series dedicated to animals that went extinct not that long ago - 'Ghost Of The Sea'; it was about Steller's sea cow - there should be more to follow. As Cat and I decided to work on this new series 'ping-pong' style again, and as I had started with the music on the first track, it was her turn to send me a song. I got her vocals in February 2021. Now the animal in focus would be the Dodo bird.
As I didn't feel very creative at the time and had quite a lot going on at work, it wasn't till July when I started play around with some rhythm patterns for the track. Cat had sung on a 120bpm grid, and I decided to go with some slow breaks. I found a good bass synth pattern to go with it - and then got stuck again... It was November 2021 when I was looking up some sounds that researchers figured out the dodo could have made and that I could use for the track. Finally the flow kicked in, and I finished the track in December 2021.
Over Christmas and new year 2021/2022 I had some holidays and lots of time to work on the video. Cat provided me some cool artsy video scenes for it too, and among them was a scene with the dodo,having an eye as a body, and the words 'Extinct' on it. We decided that would be the name and the cover of the series.
The track video was released on 6th of January 2022 and completes the work on the second track.
