Jupiter actually reminds me of a Buddhist meditation track! I found it very peaceful. I mean, not 'happy' or 'friendly,' but peaceful, like a whole bunch of monks meditating on the same note.
You should expand on that Toucan character for your portfolio, present him as a childrens book illustration, perhaps doing various tasks or interacting with other characters, and maybe add single line text or or present as page examples from a potential book or a childrens information leaflet for the museum. You've got to remember that bods looking at your portfolio can be stupid, so setting the character up in a context will help spell it out to dozy portfolio viewers. Apologies if you've already done something like that - but I saw that Toucan and thought he'd be perfect for a character in a childrens book!
As for the noises, they sound like the sort of arty music gigs I've been subjected to at festivals (groan) and Saturn sounds like the soundtrack to a particularly trippy scene in Old Star Trek. HOW DID THEY KNOW ALL THOSE YEARS AGO!
I doubt very much that the people who will view my portfolio are "stupid." They've been doing this for years and are professionals. If I made my portfolio unreadable and without any substance it would be stupidity on my part for not researching things properly.
At any rate, I already had plans for the toucan and some other characters. I think it's important to suggest examples of what work can potentially be used for. :)
Well you're lucky, I've had some pretty dozy people looking at my portfolio at job interviews!
Admittedly, they're usually mixed in with people who aren't dozy, and maybe "stupid" is not the right word. But I can't remember the last time I wasn't interviewed by less than 4 people at a time - some of whom, while otherwise professional persons, are not bright sparks at art and need prompting.
I wasn't saying that your portfolio is unresearched and unreadable or that you're stupid. Only that I like the toucan character and was making a suggestion because I thought it was a cool character - I did say "Apologies if you've already done something like that" as in, already put your toucan into your portfolio with some sort of plan of your own. I was trying to be complimentary - not insulting!

Sometimes I hate the net. It makes context and tone hard to interpret!
