Original Soundtrack for Live Theatre production of

Third Avenue PlayWorks in Sturgeon Bay, WI
Directed by Jacob Janssen
October 2nd-30th, 2022

Full Liner Notes on grimmusik.com >> bit.ly/3ESPxQv

John and his daughter Caitlyn are birders. As they scan the skies over their backyard in suburban Maryland looking for elusive birds, years go by. Relationships begin and end. Children grow up and parents age. The climate and the world change in small and vast ways. BIRDS OF NORTH AMERICA takes a close look at the relationship of a father and daughter over the course of a decade as they struggle to understand the parts of one another that defy understanding.

As a big theme of this play was Climate Crisis, I highly encourage you to DONATE to these Door County area Environmental Organizations! On October 4th, TAP theater held a Environmental Roundtable with the following organizations:

The Clean Water Action Council of Northeast Wisconsin
www.cleanwateractioncouncil.org

Climate Change Coalition of Door County
www.climatechangedoorcounty.com

Crossroads at Big Creek
crossroadsatbigcreek.org

Door County Environmental Council
www.dcec-wi.org

Door County Land Trust
www.doorcountylandtrust.org

The Nature Conservancy
www.nature.org/en-us/

Open Door Bird Sanctuary
opendoorbirdsanctuary.org

The Ridges Sanctuary
www.ridgessanctuary.org

Sierra Club
www.sierraclub.org

All of the music motifs in these cues are transcriptions and interpretations of the specific bird calls found in each scene throughout the play! Each of these music cues are the transitions between scenes, which is why they are so short. I will be releasing a longer "Sound Design Edition" of the album in 2023 with the actual sound design environments and bird calls from each scene.
