Ecstatic & Wingless is an audio documentary project on early 20th century
birdsong and its direct relationship on human performance - and human
action on birdsong. It tells the story not only of the first recordings of
cagebirds but also the practice of bird-imitation, a field that produced
amazing and eccentric celebrities during the 1910s-20s. Rarely heard in
recent years, bird imitation was also recorded commercially on every
continent by 1925 and likely predates music or language in human history.

Music researcher Ian Nagoski has previously explored the porous boundaries
of culture through 78rpm records of immigrants from collapsing European and
Near Eastern empires as they arrived in the U.S. in early 20th century, and
in the process, learned the stories of great, forgotten performers. With
Ecstatic & Wingless, he has opened his exploration to the world of
vaudevillians and bird-fanciers, of canaries, nightingales, finches, and
the people who studied them, poeticized them, and tried to be them.
