Nightingales fascinate professor David Rothenberg a musician and philosopher who has concerned himself with the relationship between humanity in one of the most of his professional life hes here in berlin because he likes to jam with nightingales of which there are many in the city at this time of year it join me in a minute but 1st lets hear a short clip from his documentary. The biggest thing is to not play this listen this in most of the time. The space to take in something youve never heard before. And this is the accompanying book to go with the Documentary Film used or just a short clip of David Rothenberg is here with me in the studio so 1st of all i have to ask you david why didnt i say goes flock to this city theyre meant to flock to Buckley Square if people know the song but they they really do flocked above it in recent years berlin is full of nightingales and its the 2nd biggest city in europe its rather astonishing. And i think it has to do with the fact that theres a lot of greenery in this city and a lot of unkempt greenery in the parks is a kind of shaggy kind of brush next to the ground and this is where they live rather than like. Whereas in more elegantly trim and manicured parks the nightingales would have nowhere to go but in berlin they fit in with the shagging yeah i mean we must despise the myth that they are melodious its not is actually theyre not very melodic. But they sing in the dark nightingales now why is it that they sing in the night good question in a way Scientists Say theyre not really sure why except they get the opportunity to communicate without any conflicting bird sounds as all kinds of Human Partying sounds and trains noise but they have the the natural acoustic spectrum all to themselves where they can fill the night the night air with these along credibly drawn out songs they can sing for hours and hours at a time why do they need to do that other birds make do with a song thats just a few notes like or says this is you but the nightingale is just beginning when it will be you know for sure now youre youre a musician your clarinetist in a Jazz Musician so youre. Improvise and we did see a little bit of improvise asian there but wed like to do a 1st On Television if we may we have gone some nightingale sounds and if you would pick up your plan or if youre ready you ready to im ready for this well were going to have a bit of improvise ation. You wonderful wonderful stuff thank you so much while you get your breath lets just hear begin to hear a very short clip with again from the documentary just a few seconds of when there are more musicians playing with you with a night again we could see. You. Do you think i mean it maybe is too big a question but is this where music regionally comes from from nature did prehistoric man hear these sounds and sort of try and Build Menstruate to it imitate it is that the way you think it is of course i mean Humanity Evolved in the context of these musicians from other species whove been making music literally for millions of years wrong. This is the oldest most Classical Music we know it there must be something right about it the birds do it for millions of years and do you believe you are communicating with the 19 go live believe that the nightingales are making music and im making music with them like trying to reach beyond what our species can do alone and make a kind of music that takes 2 species to create now nightingales the only music partners you have now lets have an example with whales this is extra i find this extraordinary that i have a list. 6 that was a really nice chance they just think by the way david weve run out of hard but thank you very much for being willing so late sharing this thing takes for Vikings Flooring and logistical outs a connection between the 2 everyone should go out and hear these nightingales for themselves if theyre here in berlin otherwise just where everyone listen to whatever creatures are singing around your face is thanks for inviting.
