Wow. As someone who basically could not make heads nor tails of ear training class in college, it’s amazing to me that someone would attempt to transcribe a Tiger growl, a cow or dog. Maybe a canary, right?
Of course, we don’t know if the person doing this was really skilled or really fanciful, but it’s a cool idea. Well, maybe if we took the time to play out those notes we could see if we agreed. I’m not quite interested enough to do that…
Cool idea, though.
While looking them over I can see some of the inflections of the transcribed sounds but I haven’t tried playing them. I imagine that at the time this was the best method of making “field recordings!”
