about

City Of Birds is a collection of compositions representing every species of bird I’ve seen in New York City. I have been fascinated by birds for my entire life, and a lot of my music is inspired by them. Sometimes I write music that directly incorporates the melodies of birds’ vocalizations; other pieces are more abstract, based on my impression of a bird’s habitat, behavior, or personality, or on my own experience of a particular sighting. All of these influences are shown in this album, the first of hopefully many volumes of recorded City Of Birds music.

The birds on the cover are the birds of these songs!
