Reid, Sarah Belle / Vinny Golia - Accidental Ornithology CD
SKU
39-CD-IS-1068
“A collection of 14 improvisations from multi-instrumentalists Sarah Belle Reid (trumpet, electronics) and Vinny Golia (woodwinds), inspired by the fascinating quirks & cries of imaginary birds.
It’s a rare occurrence to hear the grumbling cry of the Autumn Bog Fowl, or witness the chaotic flight pattern of the Red Crested Floobog—they are elusive creatures, indeed. Fanciful plumage, mysterious diets, colorful horns...these birds seem almost too incredible to be real…
Inspired by these wondrous creatures, multi-instrumentalists Vinny Golia & Sarah Belle Reid created “Accidental Ornithology”—fourteen improvised musical moments that each honor a different feathered friend... from the depths of the Mud Diver’s dwelling, to the contagious joy of the Laughing Grumblostt’s chortle...and beyond.
This electroacoustic album is a collection of bizarre and spontaneous conversations between quarter-tone contrabass flute, piccolo, clarinet, trumpet, quarter-tone flugelhorn, modular synthesizer, and interactive electronics in MaxMSP—an ever-changing sound world that is at once alarming, delicate, woozy, incessant, and playful.”
