UK, CD Trunk Records (PD227): September 2013. Originally released 1960 by Ficker Records
"Jim
Fassett teamed up with CBS technician Mortimer Goldberg to create "Symphony
of the Birds", which painstakingly assembled bird call recordings
compiled by ornithologists Jerry and Norma Stilwell -- the two men
re-recorded the bird calls on tapes at varying speeds, then superimposed
multiple playbacks on one tape reel to create the album's dense,
swirling sound, which Fassett organized into three separate movements in
adherence to symphonic traditions. He premiered "Symphony of the Birds"
on the "Strange to Your Ears" radio series." - Allmusic
