BirdSongs: a score for a choir and audience
The Score Building Method
- field recordings (example: http://kra.land/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/reveil-20200503-hranice.ogg)
- analysis of sound properties
- analysis of perceived sequences
- permutations and movements

The sounds are further analyzed on their spectral/time characteristics, and related to one another in a KNN (neighbouring) map.
The spatial distributions allow us to create dense sound patterns, which are accessed via the DvaMetri choreography (see there). (see below illustrations)
For nowwe are using the Max-MSP libraries from Ircam: MUBU.
