2013 repress, originally released in 2006.
Symphony of the Birds
is a CD reissue of the historical 1950s LP, featuring a three-track multi-speed tape collage, "Symphony," made by ONLY nature's birdsongs (it's REAL), plus regular-speed and time-stretched field recordings, and explanations from the man himself.
Jim Fassett
was the musical director of CBS radio in the '50s-'60s, and also famous as the author of another concrete work,
Strange to Your Ears
in the '50s. The kinda roots of recent field recordings/drones stuff. Total birdsong mania! Huge booklet of photos and (mostly Japanese-only) texts -- so big that EM actually uses a slightly larger-than-normal jewel case to make it fit!
