There are new Boird Band songs posted here!
Drag over the black stemmed noteheads to hear the bird and how he might sound on an electric guitar.
The American Robin sings “Cheerily, Cheeriup, Cheerio”. The above riff consists of perfect fourths going up and down. C is 4 degrees higher than an F, and G is 4 degrees higher than a D. Essentially, the Robin riff is an F to G movement, or secundal movement; the interval of a whole tone.
The Eastern Towhee plays something like an A minor(add 9). Drag over his noteheads:
Ornithologists like to sing human lyrics to bird songs. “Drink your tea” is what they came up with for this doirty boird.
Now…
MAKE YOUR OWN BOIRD BAND SONG AT HOME!
1.First get a waveform of your favorite boird.
You’ll also have to get your parents to steal some software for you that will allow you to look at the waveform (like Cool Edit, Pro Tools).
2.Then analyze every little sine wave that comes out of your favorite boird’s beak. It’ll help if your software has a Frequency Analyzer to find the ridiculously out of tune boird notes.
Note: All boirds sing microtones. Transferring a bird song to equal temperament will cause you much psychedelic pain. The dissonance will be too much to bear. It’s best to switch to clean every once in a while.
3. Just add drums on top of the guitar that rests on top of the birds. Now you’ve got your very own boirderlized rock song! If you want, add some screamies too!
COMING SOON:
The psychotic Killdeer Boird, and bass-driven Owls!
