Birdhouse / Meredith Borden & Jon Catler |
 FreeNote
Music is pleased to announce the release of the debut CD by Birdhouse.
With this 11-song CD, Birdhouse has taken actual microtonal transcriptions
of birdsong, as well as songs inspired by birds and expressed them through
an extended 13-limit system of Just Intonation. Called "Nature's Tuning
System", Just Intonation is a naturally occurring set of notes which covers
a deep range of true consonance and dissonance. Birdhouse's far reaching
vision blends this extended palette with a new level of artistry; The
results are magical and unique, a flight into the Beyond.

What people are saying about Birdhouse: |
| Birdhouse is available from FreeNote Mail-Order for $15. This CD is also available at Downtown Music Gallery (NYC), Other Music (NYC), Tower (NYC, both locations) and Tunes (Hoboken, NJ.) |
Hovering in new musical territory, Birdhouse joins the unique talents of innovative guitarist
and composer, Jon Catler and coloratura songstress, Meredith Borden.
The strength of this collaboration has evolved through years of touring,
recording, and developing a pioneering language fueled by the primal
energy of rock, blues and minimalism. This Birdhouse CD creates an aviary
of sound, highlighting the special talents of multi-instrumentalist
Brad Catler on percussion and fretless bass, flutist Andrew Bolotowsky,
and drummer Jonathan Kane; furthermore, on its classic peace anthem
"Bird of Pray," Birdhouse introduces a microtonal choir featuring the
voices of Carla Buffa, Paul Matsumoto and Joseph Liebhart.
