Birds have sparked the imaginations of composers across time, eliciting creative responses that reflect the fascination, affection, and awe these wondrous creatures arouse. Woven from music from 18th century France to 21st century Australia, Aura Go’s Soul Bird is a meditation: on birds themselves, in their infinite splendour and variety, and on the searching human motifs that lie beneath the surface of the creative responses they inspire.
Soul Bird is a reflection, and an invitation. To be a listener – a live listener, in a particular moment, in a particular space – is to actively collaborate in a miraculous world of energy, of imagination, of creation. It is an invitation to spend some time inside sounds, woven from the musical fabric of centuries of minds. It is an invitation to take solace in these sounds, to find yourself among them and within them, to create your own quiet corner for reflection.
