The definition is also sometimes extended to include sounds made by humans in a directly biological way. For instance, music that is created by the brain waves of the composer can also be called biomusic as can music created by the human body without the use of tools or instruments that are not part of the body (<a href="/wiki/Singing" title="Singing">singing</a> or vocalizing is usually excluded from this definition). </p><p>Biomusic can be divided into two basic categories: music that is created solely by the animal (or in some cases plant), and music which is based upon animal noises but which is arranged by a human composer. Some forms of music use recorded sounds of nature as part of the music, for example <a href="/wiki/New-age_music" title="New-age music">new-age music</a> uses the nature sounds as backgrounds for various musical <a href="/wiki/Soundscape" title="Soundscape">soundscapes</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Ambient_music" title="Ambient music">ambient music</a> sometimes uses nature sounds modified with reverbs and delay units to make spacey versions of the nature sounds as part of the ambience. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Biophony">Biophony</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Biomusic&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Biophony"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>At the 2014 Cheltenham Music Festival (UK), "<i>The Great Animal Orchestra Symphony for Orchestra and Wild Soundscapes</i>," composed by <a href="/wiki/Bernie_Krause" title="Bernie Krause">Bernie Krause</a> and Oxford (Balliol College) former composer-in-residence, <a href="/wiki/Richard_Blackford" title="Richard Blackford">Richard Blackford</a>, premiered, and was performed by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.

Notable in this regard is the French composer <a href="/wiki/Olivier_Messiaen" title="Olivier Messiaen">Olivier Messiaen</a> who began incorporating accurately transcribed bird songs into his music in 1952. One obstacle facing the use of bird songs in music is their complexity and usually very high register. Nevertheless, Messiaen included a variety of bird songs in many of his mature works including his <i><a href="/wiki/Catalogue_d%27oiseaux" title="Catalogue d'oiseaux">Catalogue d'oiseaux</a></i> ("Birds catalogue"), piano (1956–58) which incorporated songs from thirteen different birds. Also, he incorporated the themes of many birds in his orchestral piece, "<i>Chronochromie</i>". </p><p>In Western art music, recordings of bird songs have been used in numerous works. One of the first is <i><a href="/wiki/Pines_of_Rome" title="Pines of Rome">Pines of Rome</a></i> (1924) by <a href="/wiki/Ottorino_Respighi" title="Ottorino Respighi">Ottorino Respighi</a> – the third movement includes the sound of a <a href="/wiki/Nightingale" class="mw-redirect" title="Nightingale">nightingale</a> recorded onto a phonograph, played in the concert hall during the movement's ending.
