Manuel Göttsching composed a kind of heavy metal electronic for this spectaculous event where the models trained in the Berlin Zoo how to walk and behave like birds. The Congress Hall fell down shortly after the event - we hope not because of Manuel's powerful music :-) The music of approx. 75 min. is professionally recorded and a video exists; both to be released on CD/DVD.
