Dawn Chorus is a sound piece in which urban
noises are transformed into birdsong. The artist takes
field recordings of urban sounds, such as traffic and
building sites, and uses them as the input for music
recognition software, using the midi bird tweet setting.The
sounds emanate from small boxes, which intermittently play
ten second bursts of 'birdsong'.The nesting boxes hint at
attempts to reintroduce something lost, while the
sounds,sanitised sound bites of noise pollution, are
appropriately enough experienced within the quasi natural
environment of an ersatz jungle.
