birdsong

A split single to close out the summer, spanning the full spectrum of Modern Medication's stylings. A red-hot banger on Side A and a moody tearjerker on the B-Side.

Crama [fl cl pno vln vla vc]

"OSCines" focuses on the process of translating melodies found in birdsongs. The nightingale belongs to the clade Passeri also commonly known as Oscine, from the Latin root oscen meaning “a songbird.” Its birdsong is composed of a wide range of whistles, trills, and gurgles, which create a rich and vibrant melodic contour. Nightingale and clarinet samples serve as source and target materials (interchangeably) for spectral information collected via signal-processing detection systems. "OSCines" explores the alignment and collisions of distinct timbre features and melodic topologies within the virtual aviary of the stereophonic speaker space.
