Artist Info: Birdhouse

Birds have no knowledge of humans' diatonic scale. They sing using every possible pitch of the octave. Microtonal guitarist Jon Catler found in bird songs a source of inspiration and with the help of soprano Meredith Borden put together this beautiful collection of art songs. His just intonation guitar gives him access to 49 notes per octave. Many pieces are limited to guitar and voice, but Brad Catler (percussion) and Andrew Bolotowsky (flute) join in at times.
