Last year around the end of May, I sat down in the garden of my parents and had the time to listen to the singing birds somewhat more carefully than usual.
While doing so, I recognized a distinct question-response pattern, specific repetitions in their communication -- which did not just serve the purpose of message relaying -- and tonal constructs that could have been some kind of grammar.
This scenery is what I tried to recreate in this piece through the wonderful high-pitched flutes of the Sauer.
For those who own a 7.1 surround system, an 8-channel FLAC file can be picked up here to get an impression of what it will sound like in my living room:
