Have you been silent in a forest? Have you stopped to listen to the sounds that natural environments offer you? Discover the music of nature through our ornithomusic course.
The beauty of the songs of the birds and the sounds of their surroundings accompanied by instruments, make up a perfect symphony for relaxation and the delight of the soul. The songs of birds as the basis of a song, that is ornithomusic.
Ornithology: the sound of nature
This genre lives linked to the understanding of the musical instrument and the natural environment in equal parts. It is not only necessary to know how to play or compose but to understand the sounds that nature gives us. It is essential to recognize, analyze and interpret them to include them successfully in our song. Therefore, the composition of these pieces is not an easy task.
In addition, field work is added. Of course, it is essential to spend time in nature to listen, understand and compose. But above all to record and record the different songs and sounds that will be used later for the creation of the song.
This process is essential as it will be the basis and the reason for the piece. The quality and purity of the sample or the variety of the same, are the key piece of our work. But don’t worry, in our ornithology and music workshop we will provide you with the knowledge and tools necessary for you to learn to make ornithomusic.
