Shakespeare : Medalla .
Of all the different animal sounds produced,the song of birds has been the most inspirational to musicians and composers
since the dawn of hominid music.Recently an open-air production at Kenwood
House obtained ocarinas to produce bird song for "A Mid-Summer Nights Dream" And an American company gave Ariel in
"The Tempest"an ocarina to play instead of a more familiar recorder.David Medalla's
"Bird Ballet" performed by "The Exploding Galaxy"at "The Roundhouse"in the 60's featured Birdmasks with built-in ocarinas -blown with the nostril and having
four equal sized tone-holes played with the tongue.Also during the 1965 Film Festival at the inception of The London Film Co-operative,
attended by Harvey Matusow and Yoko Ono,JT and BJ passed ocarinas around the audience for them to accompany an experimental underground movie -Filmed by Ivor Main and BJ it featured Adam Jamieson and friend exploring the Victoria Line tunnel construction site.
