On February 23, 1956, Olivier Messiaen completed "Oiseaux exotiques," a piece for solo piano and a small orchestra. Messiaen traveled worldwide to transcribe and catalog bird songs, incorporating them into his compositions. A giant of the 20th century, his techniques influenced notable composers like Kurtàg and Stockhausen. This piece is my homage, staying true to Messiaen's originality and sublime soundscapes.
