Wire Hums featured in AnEarful's Best Of 2023: Classical

"The sound of a cello’s neck snapping - the result of a mistake during his teenage years - resonated through the years and led Bird to create this mystifying series of electronically-enhanced pieces. While that earlier fracture was inadvertent, Bird’s work to deconstruct the instrument sonically is deliberate and fascinating throughout. Lyricism, violence, and humor all about each other in an album that shows a whole new side to a composer whose work is always a great listen."
