When I played the melody it came out of the blue sky with a kind of Irish influence. It is the original rough sketch so sorry for mistakes).
These wave dancing starlings I filmed on 13 october 2011 in Twente on the way home from my work.
Every year in spring and in autumn (just for a few days!), thousands of starlings are gathering at sunset to warm up the spirit and body for the big migration and are showing these beautiful social wave dances. It's really a miracle they don't bump to eachother or crash. I loved to see them this time just above the highway and by a nice sunset, it had something very special.
