Duet with a Lonely Bird (Kauai o'o)

You hear the last member of the of the Kauai o’o bird species, calling for a mate that will never come. The music was created through comping keyboard to the sound of a calling Kauai o’o bird. The Kauai o’o’s melodic, astoundingly beautiful call and heartbreaking story is the inspiration behind the music. “This is the song of the Kauai o’o bird. In 1987 this species of bird became extinct. There are no more, but before the last living one died its song was recorded. This is that song. It is the song of an endling: the final member of a species asking to know one. - Hey! Where are we all? It’s a male calling for a mate that will never come.“
