Using Audio to MIDI and Iris 2 to Create Music By Birds

Thanks again dedindi! I'll give you credit at https://musictales.club/ if I end up using this sample in a composition.

Otherwise, what are our usage rights? Just want to make sure everyone's rights are respected.

I think Olivier Messiaen would love this, except perhaps for the "not music" in the thread title.

Let's hope this becomes an ongoing thread as others appear to be interested and some have even made their own recordings.

the thread title can be changed since I'm going to post other nature records.
how do you like "hi-fi nature sounds"?

not only Messiaen but many composers imitate birds, here is Beethoven's cadenza for woodwinds based on the motifs of nightingale, quail, and cuckoo:


there is an opinion that his "fate motif" is inspired by the yellowhammer song.

we do not violate anyone’s rights to this record, as MusicTales will soon publish nature sounds links for registered users.

Oh, you shouldn't take my post too seriously. A bird song thread by any other name would sound as sweet...

That would be tweet.

I love the nightingale song, thanks very much for sharing.

I hear song thrushes quite a lot around here at sunset. They sit on the highest point of a house or a tree and sing until it gets dark

thrushes are very funny birds!
they compile their repertoire by imitating the songs of other birds.
at sunset, the thrush flies around my woods performing a new set.
he kind of sings his song to all those whom he imitates.
but most of all he likes to sing on top of a dead tree.
I think the reason is a good reverb due to lack of leaves.

and they all lived happily ever after.

The kvr osc this month has to contain synthesized birdsong. In participating I notice the majority of sounds start high and pitch down very quickly. Too quickly to really say they're playing any one particular note. My nephew is attempting to make a birdlike noise without pitch modulation so that it can be more incorporated into actual human type music. I'm skeptical that he can manage it.

And so when someone is transcribing bird song into notes...not sure what that's about. Are you focusing on the initial pitch, the ending pitch or some average? The range is usually pretty large.

Dogs on the otherhand start low and quickly modulate up in pitch when barking. (Made a good dog sound by accident while trying to make birds.)

i think the intervals that birds perform are much more important than the pitch
they really perform the correct musical intervals and if you want to imitate their singing you need to focus on which intervals perform the bird

Here was a field recording I did in Miyagi prefecture of Japan a few years ago, walking carefully through a forest near an onsen (hot spring). Free lossless version available from Soundcloud also.
