Dear Emily,
I was very taken by your Liquid Sky video.
The song of the hermit thrush is something that has always fascinated me.
I recorded some of this song in New Hampshire, link below. Now the sound in this video is not quite accurate, because I had to edit out some background noise — namely my parrot, who kept interjecting his two cents — so the timing is not right.
Here’s a better video, tho it is rather short compared with what these birds really do in the wild.
Here’s a video with the bird sounds slowed down
Here are two piano composition about the hermit thrush

Anyway, I thought these things might inspire you.
