ORAL TRADITION by Superb Lyrebird

SUPERB LYREBIRD is a music project by SAYORNIS with ERICA DAL BASSA and her headmates. Our music blends improvisation with manipulation, using human vocalizations and electronic sounds produced with the SOMA LABS LYRA 8 and PIPE. ORAL TRADITION was performed over about two hours and then resequenced and layered into a loose narrative montage evoking everyday life, the arc of the seasons, and the contemplation of ancestry, death, and cosmogony.

You can also hear our first album, MORTAL GRAVITY, on Bandcamp (https://sopranosfogato.bandcamp.com/album/mortal-gravity).
