It’s May Day, at 4.51am, the nightingales are singing, and I’m about to start livestreaming the dawn chorus from Knepp Estate for Reveil8, a collective sound work, as it starts tracking the live sounds of sunrise across the world for the next 25 hours, finishing at 6am on the 2 May, International Dawn Chorus Day. 

Around 4am I started walking out in the moonlight, accompanied by the distant sound of Nightingales. By 5am the dawn chorus was in its full glorious flow and I was being treated to a cosy serenade by a Nightingale perched in the sallow eager to impress any females flying overhead.

As Artist-In-Residence here I'm recording soundscapes from the scrubland to capture the Knepp rewilding success story, of increasing biodiversity, including bird diversity as you can hear in this recording. As the former arable fields become thorny scrub, a habitat now almost totally erased from the wider countryside, it provides nesting habitat for a remarkable number of Nightingales. Also listen out for the Cuckoo, White Storks clattering their beaks, Song Thrush, Wren, Blackbirds, Blackcaps, Pheasant, Crows, Blue Tits, and a late entry by the Tawny Owl.

The Knepp Nightingales: The Owl and the Nightingale

It's ten past the witching hour on the 14 May and I'm in the darkness back at our friend ("Il Nostro Amico") completely entranced once more. 

These male nightingales learn around 180 different songs.  In fact males with the largest repertoires arrive earlier at the breeding sites, such as Knepp, have longer wings, and are heavier and in a better condition than males with smaller repertoires (Weiss, Hultsch, Adam, Scharff & Kipper 2014).

Knepp Nightingale #1 - Il Nostro Amico

The story of cellist Beatrice Harrison playing a duet with a nightingale in her garden ..... or was it a siffleur,  Maude Gould, imitating the bird ? A live, early outside broadcast by the BBC on 24th May 1924. Much loved and repeated until 1942.

Over the centuries the nightingale has flown in and out of the English national psyche, and its song has been an inspiration for musicians and poets throughout the ages. One of the cultural myths concerning the bird involved it jamming along to a cellist during a series of live recordings broadcast by the BBC, though it now seems likely that the corporation used the skills of a siffleur to impersonate the song.
This track is based on three variations of a dance by John Playford, and incorporates samples from the 1943 propaganda film The Demi-Paradise.
The nightingales were recorded on Westleton Heath in Suffolk.

What a show-off! It’s dark and there is a little competition down the hedgeline. This Nightingale is competing to attract the attention of a female flying-over. This male sustains part of the song impressively. You expect a gasp at the end.

Research has shown that female Nightingales are impressed by males that sing longer, have a wide repertoire, but also have longer and deeper trills. This one seems to have nailed it.

Recorded in the heart of the Knepp Wilding scrubland on 16 April 2022 at 4.44am, an hour and twenty mins before sunrise. Despite the early house, you can still hear the A24 road in the background.

Knepp Nightingales #10 - The Nightingale shows-off

PRE-ORDER: http://www.darkentriesrecords.com/store/dark-entries/joe-crow-compulsion-ep/

Joe Crow is a post-punk musician from Birmingham, England. He was a member of legendary Brum band The Prefects, & hung on long enough after the name-change to appear on a couple of early Nightingales singles. In 1981 Joe began his solo career and recorded a 2-song demo “Compulsion” and “Absent Friends”. Joe sent copies of the finished recordings to Cherry Red, who thanks to Lawrence of Felt, ended up releasing the single in 1982. An edited version of the single would later appear on the compilation “Pillows & Prayers” that collected songs which originated as 45s or EPs. Martin Gore of Depeche Mode subsequently covered “Compulsion” on his ‘Counterfeit' EP in 1989 forever solidifying its status in the cannon of UK melancholic synth pop . 

“Compulsion” and “Absent Friends” were originally intended as a double A-side. Composed, performed and recorded by Joe on an 8-track reel-to-reel at Sinewave Studio, Moseley Village in February 1981 and were engineered by Al McKerchar. Joe plays everything: guitar, bass, Boss Dr. Rhythm, Bee Gees Rhythm Machine, Wasp synthesizer, bongos stuffed with towels and an old tin tray for a snare drum. Everything was borrowed. “Compulsion” is an imaginary suicide note, a meditation on loss and grief. Its dark twin “Absent Friends” is an anti-song: no verses, choruses or middle-eight, some willfully odd chord progressions and plaintive yet melodic keyboard motif.  Both songs are a spectral hybrid of alternating childlike and cynical vocals over lo-tech basement electronics with profound lyrics. This expanded 12” reissue adds 3 unreleased bonus tracks on the B-side taken from a mini-album of nine songs, recorded at the same time as “Compulsion”. Originally titled “Ken Blagdon Sings” with music by Joe Crow and lyrics by photographer Brendan Jackson, as a birthday present to the latter's girlfriend, Jacqui Neave. The whole session lasted one day and the line up was Brendan Jackson (alias Ken Blagdon; vocals/percussion), Joe Crow (vocals/bass/guitar/Boss Dr. Rhythm/Wasp synthesizer), Mark Rowson (drums), Helen Rowson (alto saxophone), Eamonn Duffy (Nightingales bassist; squawks) and Legs Akimbo (technicals). 

All songs have been remastered from the original master tapes for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The jacket is an exact replica of the 1982 edition enlarged for the 12” format, featuring front and back photos of Joe from a dawn beach shoot at Hayling Island, Hampshire, England. Each copy includes a two-sided newsprint insert with lyrics, never-before-seen photos and liner notes by Joe Crow and Robert Lloyd of the Nightingales. These songs are perfect new wave / post-punk tracks, full of attitude and dark romanticism.
