The Blackbird - Nina Martin

As you walk down the Avenue of Trees, enjoy the break from the city and enjoy a moment of quiet. This piece is made entirely with recordings of nature, and soprano saxophone. The harmony, rhythm and content is all based on the spectral analysis of a Blackbird call. Listen out as elements of nature gradually morph into musical ideas, like the babbling brook becoming a drone, and the blackbird notes sung by a distant voice.
