Record Tracklist

  1. The Ill-Fated Ornithopter -:-- / -:--
  2. Birdddub -:-- / -:--
  3. Bagatelle 6 -:-- / -:--

A recording of work from The Bird Project, featuring new and old music for flutes, piano and electronics, video and spoken word.

Here, you’ll hear Ben Grossman’s The Ill-Fated Ornithopter for solo traverso, written for me; and Birddub, an electronic collage of improvisations on bass recorder and manipulated instrumental sound.

The third sample, Hans Poser’s Bagatelle 6, and played by pianist Andrei Streliaev and I, is taken from a concert recording.
