Bird Music

[Lightstream]

One of my all-time favorites: Sunset (Bird of Prey) by Fatboy Slim using The Doors' song:

I'm glad I'm not the only one interested in bird music Thx everybody for your posts! Counting on more !!!

Animals and martial arts have been recently the most popular topics on 'Music in General'. This is my humble attempt to prove birds superiority in both animal kingdom and the world of martial arts.

You can't beat the goose!

From yesterday's album of the evening.  Someone is slacking on their usual remonstrations for delaying input here by a full day.

If you want to hear a 1969 version of 'Stairway to Heaven' go to 7:15

 

 

As for crows.

 

 

 

A little bit more on the topic?

I don't listen to music like that but I'm actually listening to the album on which this piece is included..

It's good to break your own rules and habits from time to time

Thanks @Confused !

You are welcome, and you have already thanked me enough by introducing me to the world of bird music.  I suspect my life will never truly be the same again.  I shall run through all the music in this thread to fully understand the genre, but meanwhile, I would like to offer the only song I know, with lyrics, actually sung by a bird, albeit a plastic one.  I will try to come up with something a little more musically challenging next time........ 

 

(To be honest, I am not sure this qualifies as being an actual bird, or indeed as actual music)

Meet a qualified musician among birds - hermit thrush.

 

This Bird’s Songs Share Mathematical Hallmarks With Human Music. The hermit thrush prefers to sing in harmonic series, a fundamental component of human music.

 

Now for some music.

This guy welcomes me every morning while I'm drinking my light coffee and smoking smooth Dutch tobacco roll-your-own. A repeater. He repeats his bird song phrase, the only variation being the length of the phrase ending. I don't know what bird is that. I prefer improvisers - the ones who don't repeat their phrases but surprise you every time - but I appreciate his presence and his song.

It's never tiresome in contrast with some audio gear and some (human) music. Fortunately only some..

As for The Stranglers and birds. Here appears a raven subject.

 

 

And here a whole flock of seagulls! (early Stranglers love songs were IMO great! )

Dark electro crow (I'm not a fan of the genre but IMO it's a pretty cool track).

 

 

One can count on crow's gratitude.

Obviously birds fascinated movie makers too. From Pier Paolo Pasolini's Facebook post:

 

 

Marc Parella's 1992 symphonic score. The terrrifing birds' final attack. Not for the faint-hearted!

Tonight the Amsterdam jazz club 'Bimhuis' is a kingdom of birdsong jazz! I might join the party

Quote

The compositions on A Brid’s Eye View have each been inspired by a different bird sound. The five musicians offer each other room in the dynamic improvisations. Alongside tenor, Colen also plays soprano sax, and pianist Mike Roelofs adds extra color with Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer.
‘The Netherlands has reason to be proud of such groups. They strive as “keepers of the flame” to make sure that the jazz tradition is kept alive throughout the globe’ (Jazz Review).

I have started running through the various links in this thread, just made it to page 3.  I think I am getting the idea of bird music now.  Some interesting music, and my favorite from page 1 one was Lene Lovich's Bird Song, thanks @Lightstream

 

From page 2 of the tread, it does, for, me have to be @AudioDoctor 's offering of the Trashmen's Surfin' Bird.

 

Here's my contribution for today:

Ravens just like African grey parrots can talk. 'Hello' isn't their favorite word though.

 

 

Now for some more raven music.

Was checking out the new (01.2019) ECM release when I encountered this piece. This is a piano trio but led by the bass player - Mats Eilertsen.

 

 

And this is a piece from his 2017 album issued by Hubro
