    eco-wallet (no plastic wrap) with hand-collaged dried flowers and wax details

    each physical object is hand-made and unique. because it uses natural elements, it will change and fall apart over time—do not worry, that is the nature of things.

    inside each wallet is a small packet of seeds that are native to your area—scatter them.

    If you have an allergy/sensitivity to beeswax or flowers, please inform me.

    Some delays in shipping might occur as each CD contains elements that take time to prepare; generally ships in one week.

about

for solo piccolo and 29 spatialized piccolos

Atolls is written for solo piccolo and twenty-nine spatialized piccolos. In performance, the auxiliary performers surround the soloist and the audience in a ring. The pitch material played by the auxiliary performers is derived from the combined spectral analysis of a crash cymbal and Janet Leigh's infamous scream from Alfred Hitchcock’s "Psycho". The work is inspired by Roberto Bolaño's 2004 novel "2666", and small excerpts of the text are interspersed throughout the solo piccolo part.

David Bird is a composer, producer, and multimedia artist based in New York City. His work explores the dramatic potential of electroacoustic and multimedia environments, often highlighting the relationships between technology and the individual. His work has been performed internationally, at venues and festivals such as the MATA festival in New York City; the Gaudeamus Festival in Utrecht, Netherlands; the Wien Modern Festival in Vienna, Austria; the SPOR festival in Aarhus, Denmark; the Musica Electronica Nova Festival in Wrocław, Poland; and the Festival Mixtur in Barcelona, Spain. He has composed and collaborated with groups like JACK Quartet, Mivos Quartet, Bozzini Quartet, Yarn/Wire, Talea Ensemble, International Contemporary Ensemble, Mantra Percussion, Black Page Orchestra, loadbang, TAK Ensemble, and andPlay.
