Baltimore Oriole by Bird Boy

Bird Boy is an exploration of nature, chill beats created with bird calls. I met sound recordist Paul Marvin who had made some absolutely beautiful recordings of the Baltimore Oriole.

My composition surrounds the notes the Oriole naturally sings, in its natural rhythm. I tried to do as little audio manipulation as possible for this one, so the Oriole's call sounds just as you would hear it in the wild.

I live in Philadelphia and have lots of friends in Baltimore, so this local bird has a bit of a personal connection. Thanks for listen, and I hope you enjoy

a boy making beats from bird songs.
