The Thousand Bird Chorus (Thailand)

from Sounds of the Year 2018 by Cities and Memory

about

Birds in Chiang Mai, reimagined by Cities and Memory.

Every sound in the piece is taken from the original field recording, effected and processed in various ways. The sheets of drones represent the "blanket" effect of hearing all of the birds sing as one, creating a sheet of indistinguishable song. The individual arpeggiated sounds represent listening in more closely, and picking out the songs of individual birds from amongst the noise, like tuning into one person's conversation in a crowded room.
