Not to be confused with the Birdie song, as that is some hype that cannot be lived up to. This tune is named such after the bird that chirps in with its own tune during the first few seconds, which is arguably much better. The track features acoustic guitar with some reverb and delay added in Ableton Live, some ahem mad keyboard skillz (note the ‘z’ which makes it roughly 15% better than normal skills), and some midi pad drumming. The midi pad drumming is still in its infancy so the kick and snare had to be forced into place, but the hi-hats, those bad boys are 100% live. This bird was cooked in an extremely hot Amsterdam apartment for about 30 mins (no basting required).
