This is my first mixtape on the site, so please comment! I'm new to all of this. I see this as a mix with an A side and a B side, one side being about locusts, grasshoppers and crickets, the other one about butterflies. I tried to build it up from soft and friendly to more electronic and less sweet, both for locusts and butterflies.
Why? Because I'm totally obsessed with grasshoppers. Ah...the love! Putting a grasshopper between your lips so you can determine what species another one is before you start looking at that one, running through the fields with your net trying to catch the ultra rare species you could possibly find there... You should try it too! It's easy to make friends when you're catching grasshoppers.
Grasshoppers and crickets belong to the family of the Orthoptera. Locusts belong to -surprise surprise- the Locusta. Locusts can behave like your ordinary grasshopper, living totally solitary. Or they can form a swarm and become a big biblical plague!
I didn't put anything from the band 'The Locust' in, grindcore just didn't seem to fit this mix. XD And butterflies are just beautiful.
