Helle Kristensen (Denmark), treble and tenor recorders
The title refers to a flock of birds flying away. The treble and tenor recorders were chosen due to their expressive and deep sounds, ideal to express the contemplative feeling of the flight itself and the absence of the birds that no longer exist, destroyed by the action of fire in nature or man's deforresting. It is not as a descriptive piece but an expression  of profound indignation towards the present misuse of nature by man.

(@jean_charles-b) : Aim at entering the musical beauty that offers us the various musics of any countries, of any time(period);



Urban nature is often overlooked despite the majority of us living in towns and cities, so the focus of these recordings is Nature in the City, well particularly in the suburbs of Ham and Petersham in the London Borough of Richmond. Here, you won’t find any recordings of pristine wilderness. There will always be human noise: an overhead plane, the general hum of traffic, an occasional bad gear change, screeching of brakes, or an emergency siren, but hopefully you will also find sounds of a city alive with nature.
