“Strolling in the park, listening to birds chirping, I saw letter-like symbols among the twigs at my feet. I gathered them, photographed them, and arranged this imaginary alphabet into sentences.

Dr. Kazuo Okanoya has supposed that the origin of a language must have been musical, like the chatter of birds, and studied the song structure of finches. Each species of bird communicates in its own song; if we understood the musical and pre-linguistic communication, what would we hear in the collective words “spoken” by non-human creatures, birds, insects, and plants?
