"A birdsong can even, for a moment, make the whole world into a sky within us, because we feel that the bird does not distinguish between its heart and the world's." --Rainer Maria Rilke

The Birdsong Project

"Randall Poster is Hollywood's man with the golden ear, a renowned matchmaker of sound and image. When a filmmaker wants a soundtrack to create a certain mood or needs just the right tune to lend a scene punch or poignancy, Poster's phone rings. Now the man behind your favorite film soundtracks wants to build a joyful movement around bird conservation. What began as a loose idea for a musical benefit project has blossomed into something far more ambitious: For the Birds: The Birdsong Project. At its heart are 172 new pieces of music created by some of the world's most celebrated songwriters and performers, interspersed with avian-themed verse written by major poets and read by A-list actors and artists."
