I’m listening to Cosmo Sheldrake. Specifically an album from last year called Wake Up Calls. It borrows bird song recordings as the main instrument. Somtimes the sound is manipulated, not in any subersive way nor in a way which transforms it into somthing that it isint. This is a very respectful use that manages to incorporate the animals without having to interpret in any way.
Birdsong dosent need interpretation. It is a whole onto its self and is not benefited by our logical understanding of it. Nor has it been uttered solely for understanding. Our interpretation should be respectful, personal and met with an open heart. As a tool for simple meditation it is priceless and as a key to bring us from the material to the ethereal it is invaluable.
