BirdsNest is an iPad-instrument recalling the forest sounds of a Northern Swedish summer. Tap and slide to make music with birdcalls, percussion sounds, and field recordings and have fun with the built in “auto play” and looping features. The app features a sequence of four soundscapes that let you explore a sonic journey from the forest floor up to the treetops - each time you press the "sounds" button there's a chance of progressing to the next area. Each soundscape features a different mix of field recordings and percussive sounds to play with!
