Description

Sounds of the Birds is a unique multi-sensory experience. Spellbinding animations from Sheffield-based design team Human are combined with Messiaen’s Catalogue d’Oiseaux - an ambitious suite of music that reproduces the songs of different birds.  From the brightly insistent call of the skylark to the menacing tones of the tawny owl, Olivier Messiaen’s Catalogue d’Oiseaux reproduces the songs of different birds, vividly capturing their interactions with a series of stunning French landscapes. Our adventure through science, music, nature and imagination is led by Tim Birkhead (ornithologist and Professor of Behavioural Ecology at the University of Sheffield).
