章节摘录

　　1 Nature is never silent. As well as the general background of water， wind and weather， unique sounds are added by living creatures. There are a huge variety of calls and the more melodic ones have even inspired composers. But instead of just copying their musical qualities-what about actually using the animals themselves as musicians？　　2 Obviously， they wont play on request， but by putting a whole range of animal calls into an electronic sampler， British composer Nick is sure he can build up a wildlife orchestra， which will respond to the touch of a button. Take the strings for instance.　　3 Grasshoppers not only produce string-like sounds， but also make music in a similar way to violinists and cellists. But their bow is a row of pegs on their legs， and veins in their wings take the　　4 There is a kind of gremlin-like creature called aye-ae. It uses its long middle finger to tap branches to find cavities， where grubs and insects hide out. It may not have the best table manners， but this strange looking creature is certainly a very adept and unusual percussionist， which should help provide Nick with a good idea.　　5 Nicks now got a good selection of percussionists to really get the beat going. Now hes got his wind instrumentalisis he heeds.　　6 In summer， during the breeding season the male toad fish finds a nest pool and at night when the tide is in hums to attract a female. Once a male is settled， hes introduced to a female， and soon digs himself in to start humming his love song by vibrating his swim bladder——about a hundred times a second.　　7 The alligators more recently evolved relatives， the birds， have more complex songs. Birds often sound flute-like. They really are more songsters than wind instrumentalists. Even so， because of their trilling sound， Nick is including them in his wind section， which is already sounding quite melodious.
