Migration: A Compositional Study and Exploration of Birdsong through Cello and Audio Production Techniques (2025)

Doireann Ni Aodain

About this exposition

'Migration' is an electroacoustic composition written using cello, field recordings, virtual instruments and digital audio processing techniques. The aim of this project was to transcribe nature sounds by ear and mimic them as accurately as possible on the cello, then process these using the Digital Audio Workstation 'Reaper'. This material was then structured into three sections, each with its own distinct sonic identity. The piece itself highlights the migration of a cuckoo from Ireland to Africa, and all sounds used during the making of the composition were recorded from scratch.
