Birdsong by Chad Fowler, Shanyse Strickland, Sana Nagano, Melanie Dyer, Ken Filiano Anders Griffen,

Researchers of birdsong in urban environments have found that anthropogenic ambient noise has increased in urban areas over time and that there is a coinciding cultural evolution of dialects for cultural transmission. Dialects change: they grow and evolve, sometimes they may disappear. As the environment changes, so do its inhabitants. They adapt in order to reach one another with their sound.

There is a parallel in music, both as expression evolves over time and musicians relate in unique ways based on their backgrounds and origins. Improvised music provides a setting where this may be explored to the fullest. This diverse ensemble is made up of musicians with unique origins and backgrounds and a few of them were meeting for the first time.
