The Invisible Birds

from Chiba EP by Jens Paldam

/

about

Tomoyo Mizuya and I were walking through the center of Chiba when we came across a group of tall trees from where the sound of a flock of birds could be heard. We looked up at length but could not see as much as a single bird. I would come back to this group of trees and record the birds several times during my stay, but never once did I catch a glimpse of a bird.
Another type of invisible birds that can be heard on the recordings are the sounds of electric birds that can be heard at traffic lights all over Japan. They are installed to help the visually impaired to know when it is safe to cross the road. The sound of a cuckoo informs when there is a red light and a chirping chick sound can be heard when the light is green.
