Another day, another parasite. That’s 2 in a row that are “randomly” generated for inspiration.
From Wikipedia:
Bed bugs are parasitic insects from the genus Cimex, who are micropredators that feed on blood, usually at night. Their bites can result in a number of health impacts, including skin rashes, psychological effects, and allergic symptoms.Treatment is directed towards the symptoms. Eliminating bed bugs from the home is often difficult, partly because bed bugs can survive up to approximately 300 days without feeding.
Based on this synopsis I was tempted to jump into Logic Pro again and tap out some creepy synth sounds. Instead I tapped out a creepy bedtime adaptation on a uke with a 3,000 year-old sound board. Bed bugs have been around since the dawn of time. Their simple lifestyle makes them invincible.
Here’s the dooodle and demo.
