The film's director, Garth Jennings, acted as the executive producer on the soundtrack. The songs were picked regarding the mood of the characters and their intentions, [17] with "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" (a song performed by U2) used as it "fits the emotional resolution of that film" and Bomba Estéreo's "Soy Yo" is played when "characters are at their lowest moment, and ...
A 2023 study found a correlation between the dawn chorus of male birds and the absence of females. The research was conducted in southern Germany, with male blue tits being the birds of interest. Researchers "found that the males sang at high rates while their female partners were still roosting in the nest box at dawn, and stopped singing as ...
They sing most frequently in the morning and only in the beginning of the breeding season before incubation. [2] They often sing while exposed on perches, as well as during flight. [2] This bird has two calls sounds: one is an aggressive, flat tup or chip while the other is a soft, high-pitched buzzy zeet.
Musicologists such as Matthew Head and Suzannah Clark believe that birdsong has had a large though admittedly unquantifiable influence on the development of music. [2] [3] Birdsong has influenced composers in several ways: they can be inspired by birdsong; [4] they can intentionally imitate bird song in a composition; [4] they can incorporate recordings of birds into their works; [5] or they ...
While almost all living birds give calls of some sort, well-developed songs are only given by a few lineages outside the songbirds. And still, not all songbirds proffer a call that is distinctly melodious. Songbirds do, however, possess a highly developed vocal organ, the syrinx, that enables their sonorous activity. This organ, also known as a ...
Some sources distinguish between simpler vocalizations, termed “calls”, reserving the term “song” for more complex productions. [2] Song-like productions have been identified in several groups of animals, including cetaceans (whales and dolphins), avians (birds), anurans (frogs), and humans. Social transmission of song has been found in ...
An annual International Dawn Chorus Day is held on the first Sunday in May [6] when the public are encouraged to rise early to listen to bird song at organised events. The first ever was held at Moseley Bog in Birmingham, England, in 1987, organized by the Urban Wildlife Trust (now The Wildlife Trust for Birmingham and the Black Country).
Birds regulate the airflow through the syrinx with muscles—M. syringealis dorsalis and M. tracheobronchialis dorsalis—that control the medial and lateral labia in the syrinx, whose action may close off airflow. [2] Song may, hence, be produced unilaterally through one side of the syrinx when the labia are closed in the opposite side.
