Some New PRF Songs

So I recorded a few songs these past few months:

Hypnotize
Fulcrum Thoughts (Part 2)
Sound 1
Processed Meat
Unprocessed Meat

Hypnotize: Just recorded it now. I tried something a little different. I had my guitar tuned to EEEBBB, but that's not to what I'm referring. The 1st string was tuned half a semitone sharp, so was really in between B and C. The 6th string was tuned half a semitone flat, which means it was between D# and E. I liked the way this tuning sounded open. It had a droning tone but with some interesting dissonance.

Fulcrum Thoughts (Part 2): I really liked the arpeggio I came up with for the original Fulcrum Thoughts song, so I a variation of it in, a perfect 4th higher in pitch, in this song. It was originally named "The Mouse", but since it was derivative of Fulcrum Thoughts, I decided to make it a sequel. In fact, I've used that arpeggio with the D note pedal, or in this case the G note pedal in an early song I wrote, and also in my song Crumful (figure out the anagram?). I was watching part of a movie or TV show, and they had a song playing that very much resembled this pattern I've used so often. Don't know the name of the song or artist.

Sound 1: I can't remember much about this song at all except that I think it was in an Ostrich guitar tuning (DDDDDD).

Processed Meat: I can't remember much about this either except that I double tracked the whole song twice, once modifying the pitch to make it a major 3rd higher, and a second time making the pitch a perfect 5th higher, making every note a major chord and hence chords into polychords.

Unprocessed Meat: This is the same as above, just without the double tracking.
