I’ve got you under my skin
Vinyl record


Canaries base their songs on input from their environment. Usually this means that they grow up around other male canaries, listen and when they reach puberty, produce a song. The canary at my house has only ever listened to Frank Sinatra sing "I've got you under my skin". For six months, starting in the spring of 2013 I played the song for him at least once a day, being careful to introduce as little outside sound as possible.

Canaries aren't parrots, in the sense that they don't mimic, what they do is riff off of the input available. 

As a completion of this portion of the project, I have recorded (b.) "covering" Frank Sinatra and pressed it to vinyl as a single.
