DESCRIPTION:
Classical violin score with heavy dance beats.
Composed and performed by violinist Nikki TFX.

Track: Vampirotoothus (Vampire Squid Mix) Artist: Tuffonix. Taken from the album Octarine.

Inspired by the wonderful Vampirotoothus Infernalis from BBC Planet Earth. I love the sense of movement of this amazing creature, so much personality!

The song contains samples of David Attenborough's narration from the "Ocean Deep" episode of Planet Earth.

"No vestige of light can penetrate as far as this."
"Vampirotoothus, the vampire squid from hell."
"To see what it does, we must switch off the lights. The vampire squid has lights of his own."
"Bioluminescent bacteria shine from pockets on its arms, to confuse its predators."
"Vampirotoothus disappears into the blackness."

A huge THANK YOU to David Attenborough for 50+ years of amazing programs and total dedication to the natural world!

Also contains video clips from the "The Deep" episode of Blue Planet.
