Messiaen' Around (or Bird Call Montage)

from Aberration by The Crabfeathers Duo

/

about

Dedicated to French composer Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992), who believed birds to be the greatest musicians and incorporated birdsong transcriptions into most of his music.

Critical acclaim (er...):

"Messiaen Around”: Yes, Messiaen sounds a bit like messing, but that doesn’t mean that invoking the 20th century composer’s name will give more depth to musical compositions.
