The Birdsong Project

    On September 7, NPR dropped an episode of All Songs Considered about an enormous new compilation album called "For The Birds: The Birdsong Project." It's a massive collection of original songs and poems about birds and inspired by birdsong. Artists range from Alice Coltrane, Nick Cave, Laurie Anderson, and The Flaming Lips to Sam Prekop, Devendra Banhart, Yo Yo Ma, and of course Andrew Bird & Jeff Tweedy. Here's a link to the episode - https://www.npr.org/2022/09/06/1121237661/this-episode-is-for-the-birds As I listened to the collection for a few days at work, my ambient brain thought of using some of the instrumental tracks in a mix. So for this mix all the tracks come from The Birdsong Project. Most of the cuts have worked bird sounds in with the music. Unfortunately this collection is not available on Bandcamp. So it's very expensive to buy the full compilation, with the vinyl box set selling for $400 and the mp3 downloads going for $38 per volume. So I would suggest listening to the collection on Spotify which you can find here - https://www.audubon.org/news/the-birdsong-project-box-set Here's one more link to check out - https://www.thebirdsongproject.com/ Cheers!   T R A C K L I S T : 00:00    Shearwater - Kwitaro Backbone 05:33    Sam Prekop - Stations Parallel 10:12    Aska Matsumiya - Tori No Uta 12:57    Paul Cantelon - Hymn for Four Birds 18:41    Makaya McCraven - For The Birds 21:27    Elliot Bergman - Crow Dialectic 25:27    Andrew Bird - Rare Birds 32:22    Joachim Cooder - Carolina Turtledove 34:55    Carla dal Forno - Morning Maggie 37:04    Devendra Banhart - Ka 40:20    Dexter Story - Wefoch(Birds) 43:40    Stuart Bogie - Far Rockaway 49:11    Woodkid - Altamira Oriole 51:57    Marcelo Zarvos - Nightbird 55:39    Cosmo Sheldrake - Evening Chorus(Live in the Bluebell Woods) 60:27    end
