The Dream Island of Birds

Description

With The Dream Island Of Birds, Mike Cooper continues his fascinating journey at the borders of field recording, ambient, and experimental exotica. Inspired by a residency on the island of Pulau Ubin, between Singapore and Malaysia, the British musician composes here an immersive work from electronically processed recordings of birds and insects, between sound memory and tropical daydream. Through these contemplative and mysterious pieces, Cooper transforms the sounds of the living into floating soundscapes, populated by imaginary creatures and island reminiscences. Between organic ambient, electroacoustic collage, and naturalistic poetry, The Dream Island Of Birds develops a hypnotic and deeply sensory atmosphere, somewhere between sound documentary and peaceful hallucination. A delicate and singular work, ideal for fans of ambient experimentation, field recordings, and sonic escapism.
