1. Pathfinder ft. Ryan Johnson & Robert Rich
2. Metakinetic
Description:
Bird of Prey is constantly forging new territories in psychedelic bass music, and his newest release on Addictech Records is a clear indicator that he is moving forward and evolving his sound. Refusing to go anywhere near the cliche current trends, he maintains his intention to weave an audio tale for the ages.
On “Pathfinder” Bird of Prey collaborates with Robert Rich and Ryan Johnson for an epic downtempo journey, creating an organic soundscape that is one of the best “chill out” tracks that we have heard in ages! Robert Rich has helped define the genres of ambient music, dark-ambient, tribal and world fusion with dozens of albums across three decades. Rich has performed in caves, cathedrals, planetariums, museums and concert halls throughout North America and Europe. His all-night Sleep Concerts have become legendary since their debut in 1982. His sound design graces many films, and as a mastering engineer he has applied his ear to hundreds of albums. Ryan Johnson is a musician of diverse talent and style. He currently performs with the electronic dance ensemble TROPO, the acoustic/vocal group Alabaster Stone, and rock/pop band Rain fur Rent.
“Metakinetic” brings us back to the dancefloor in a more traditional Bird of Prey vibration. Pumping basslines ride atop cleverly crafted beats, while intelligent arpeggios mesh with just the right amount of glitch. There is something distinct about the Bird of Prey sound, and we believe that he achieves his goal to create “Music to Expand the Heart and Blow the Mind”!

Hey all, my latest release is now available at Addictech.com (http://www.addictech.com/p/79431)
It's a dual single featuring two special songs to me. The first of which is a collaboration with Ambient/Soundscape pioneer Robert Rich, who played the lap steel guitar and flute. Robert's been a friend for a few years now and we finally got around to working on something together. This is the first of what I hope to be many.
Lots of love,
Torin/Bird of Prey

Bought this earlier in the week. I really like it. I like that these tracks are a bit faster than the 80bpm norm of dubstep.
Looing forward to hear what else you have store for the future...

Thank you sir, I really appreciate your support.
Pathfinder is actually 84bpm, and Metakinetic is 80bpm . However! Most dubstep is 70bpm, so they are faster than that standard. Although, I've never had any intentions of making "dubstep", just progressive psychedelic electronic music. These tunes especially are drifting further from that sort of influence...
So much more in the works, including a new collaboration project with my buddy Tyler Gibson (Gibson) as Birds of Paradise.

Thank Damon! Well, pretty much all "dubstep" is 70 or 140bpm, which is essentially the same...most elements running at 70 while the hats run at 140
Andrew! I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to meet in person. I had a great chat with Naasko, look forward to staying in touch with you all. Much love and respect...and thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it
