The duet of Maltese bird-trappers, perform the calls and songs of seven migratory songbirds; Linnet, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Siskin, Serin, Greenfinch, and Hawfinch.
The choir is composed of men who, like the artist’s father, have studied their parts for twenty to thirty years. The aim is to collect sounds, preserve knowledge and give others access to this micro-community of Maltese bird trappers.
In June 2018, a ruling by the European Court made it illegal to trap these birds. The Maltese bird-trapping community are now on the other side of EU law.
