Wolfgang Müller – Séance Vocibus Avium

Warehouse find. Only 10.

Wolfgang Müller, composer, artist and founding member of Die Tödliche Doris, set out to recreate the calls of extinct bird species. To do so, he enlisted an impressive list of artist friends to help with the project. The participating artists were assigned one bird species each. The artists were provided with the available historical documentation of their specific species, and were asked to recreate the sounds with strict historical accuracy. In total, eleven bird calls were recreated, all in amazing detail. The sounds are collected here, on either 7 vinyl or on cd. The audio recordings are attached to the back cover of a 40 page book, containing Wolfgang Müller s wonderful drawings and texts on all eleven species. The foreword is written by Úlfur Hró ólfsson.
