Bird Bellow Whistle by Martin Smith with Laikingland



“I am interested in producing mechanical bird sounds and seeing the cause and effect through a mechanism. For me the making is very important and I wanted to craft every part of the machine, to understand how the bellows are constructed and operate and to get the bird whistle just right.


The concept came for the notion of waking up to birdsong and I wanted a piece that could be set, as with an alarm clock, and would allow you start the day gently.”
