Miya Masaoka: For Birds, Planes and Cello, for cello and field recording
On March 15, 2004, in the company of recording engineer Marcos Fernandes, composer Miya Masaoka ventured out into the San Diego Canyon at half-past five in the morning to make a fifty-odd minute field recording of birds waking up and jet planes lifting from the local airport. (Masaoka claims the canyon is home to more than 150 species of native and migratory birds). Masaoka then created a meticulous score based on the formidable and versatile techniques that Joan Jeanrenaud had developed with her wealth of experience with the Kronos Quartet.
