Wieder ein hintersinniges Werk des TÖDLICHEN DORIS-Begründers, "SEANCE VOCIBUS AVIUM" präsentiert die zumindest akustische Wiederauferstehung von elf ausgestorbenen Vogelarten. Anhand verfügbarer historischer Beschreibungen haben sich diverse Musiker aufgemacht und für jede Vogel-Spezies höchst obskure Imaginationen ihrer Lautäusserungen kreiert. Das ist witzig, obskur und todtraurig zugleich. Kommt mit feinem Begleitbuch inkl. Zeichnungen & Texten zu den Vögeln (auf deutsch, englisch und isländisch). Mit CD oder 7".

Wolfgang Müller, composer, artist and founding member of Die Tödliche Doris, set out to recreate the calls of extinct bird species. To do so, he enlisted an impressive list of artist friends to help with the project. The participating artists were assigned one bird species each. The artists were provided with the available historical documentation of their specific species, and were asked to recreate the sounds with strict historical accuracy.

In total, eleven bird calls were recreated, all in amazing detail. The sounds are collected here, on either 7” vinyl or on cd. The audio recordings are attached to the back cover of a 40 page book, containing Wolfgang Müller’s wonderful drawings and texts on all eleven species.

The foreword is written by Úlfur Hróđólfsson." [label info]
