Songbird Symphony (The Field Recording Files)

These are the sounds of some neighborhood birds in Douglasville, GA, captured in approximately an hours worth of field recordings, that were then edited, blended and tweaked with effects in Ableton. As for the process... I'm at my parents house currently, and so once I decided to make this EP dedicated to the bird(s) I became more determined to capture a good field recording of it. After failing a few times with the phone, I invested in a reasonably priced tool made specifically this task, the "Tek Bird Recording Observing Listening Device Extreme Sound Amplifier Ear Bionic", as Amazon simply names its, and connected that to an old digital recorded I had for doing interviews. After spending a few hours outside, over all sorts times of early mornings and middays, I was able to capture a variety of songs from the bird(s), often with its neighborhood associates chiming in as well. I went through all the bird sounds, about an hours worth, and find short little song parts to make one bar loops of, then I sent those to Serious for him to clean them up best possible. Then, they were sent back to me and I sprinkled them throughout every song, except the first and the last song. In the first song, I ask the question, "How to get that songbird to sing?", so I'm setting up trying to capture the bird's songs. Then, for the last song, that's my form of meditation, so most things outside are blocked out, but then the EP ends with the "Songbird Symphony", which is a collage of my bird field recordings featuring the birds of Douglasville, GA. I hope they are ok with their music being shared in such a way. I will sit outside and play it for them today too... Oh, and AFTER I finished the project, my curiosity finally got the best of me and I started to search and see what type of bird it was. After spending a good part of an afternoon a few weekends ago, listening to online clips to all the most common birds in Douglasville, GA, I narrowed it down to three possibilities, or maybe combination thereof (listed from most likely to the least), Carolina Wren, Brown Thrasher (or maybe another type of mockingbird)), or the Northern Cardinal.
