I'm taping it for sonicl.Check it out.Boo hoo!!

Glad you can help him out! And if you'll manage to share the recording here, I hope I will be able to get it somehow...

i would like a copy of that recording poleasse porky

Yes, good deal Pork. I was starting to stress about not being able to record it for Sonicl.

Right,i've recorded it and converted into a digital file that i'll post at one point when my landlord decides to get the fucking internet working at home again.On a lighter note,i've always meant to ask if anyone really loves getting up in the morning while all those great field recordings are played on this radio station.

I'd love to be able to listen to Resonance fm. I wish someone would be good enough to give them a licence to broadcast over a wider area.

And thank you Porky. Thank you thank you thank you.

At around 5 in the morning you get up and they are playing someone snoring and birds singing.

Ah, I get that. Maybe someone is piping Resonance fm into my bedroom without me knowing.

The cool thing about the birds being played on the radio is that they mix with the ones doing real time singing outside so you get up to a stereo soundtrack of birds singing.I like that.

Have you seen that there's going to be a documentary about bird song on BBC4 sometime during April? I'll find a link and post it in a minute.

Oh yes!Thank you,i should post some of the recordings i did of birds singing a while ago.

Here we go:

Jarvis, Guillemots, Peter Gabriel in BBC Bird Doc
Plus: Beth Orton, Juana Molina, Laurie Anderson, Simon Emmerson (Afro-Celt Sound System)

We may know why the caged bird sings, but what about its undomesticated sibling, chirping its little heart out on the power line outside your window? Author/naturalist/esteemed jazz clarinetist David Rothenberg set out to discover just what inspires these feathered friends to burst into song in his 2005 book Why Birds Sing, concluding humankind's avian neighbors sing not just for practical purposes (mating, communication, etc.), but for one of the same reasons we do: pleasure.

Um, like, that's cute and all, but what's a book? We want Rothenberg's ideas distilled into a riveting, uncomplicated television documentary! With music! And famous people! And thanks to the BBC, that's just what we'll get. According to The Guardian, BBC Four will soon premiere Why Birds Sing, an 80-minute documentary inspired by Rothenberg's ideas and packed with guest spots from Jarvis Cocker, Beth Orton, Laurie Anderson, and Peter Gabriel.

The Cheetah Television-produced film was created in part at Gabriel's Real World Studios and concludes with an all-encompassing musical collaboration featuring Gabriel, Guillemots (BONUS: BAND NAMED AFTER A TYPE OF BIRD), Afro-Celt Sound System founder Simon Emmerson, composer Richard Evans, and Van Morrison bandmate Kate St John using "real bird samples to create an undeniably funky dance groove." We are not making that quote up: it's on Real World Studios' website.

It's not a really great conversion of the tape as i had to do it through a dictaphone but it's good enough to listen to.
