A lot of "Voltaic Fauna Bodies" explores the theme, though there are some other, algorithmically generated melodies and things in there, too.

It's one of those things that sounds really cool when you describe it because you use lots of big techy words, but ultimately it's just some weird noises.

You should introduce it just as abstract sound art, or something, and then people will have a realistic expectation and you can elaborate on techniques if they show further interest.
