Birds. by Alkyon

Every track on this album is created from its own, solo, bird recording. Everything you hear has been manipulated and drawn out from each bird's song; occasionally maintaining the character, often transforming it into something totally unrecognisable.

The name Alkyon comes from the myth of Alcyone who, transformed into a kingfisher, is able to lay her eggs during a period of calm in the winter storms. Making this music takes me to a peaceful place amidst the chaos of life, and I hope listening to it might do the same for you!

Each track takes a single sound source and twists and distorts it into each of the different elements that you hear.
