"An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump" by Joseph Wright of Derby depicts a scientist performing an experiment in which a bird is deprived of air, before a varied group of onlookers. The bird will die if the demonstrator continues to deprive it of oxygen, and Wright leaves us in doubt as to whether or not the cockatoo will be reprieved.[1] In this painting there are 6 different music themes:

- The Scientist.
A mysterious theme with repeating motivos representing the challenging look of the scientist as he is inviting us to participate/decide the faith of the bird.
- The Couple.
A romantic theme in 19 century style for piano. The couple is complete isolated from everything is happening in the room.
- The Girls and the Father.
A scary theme that has many things in common with the scientinst's music.
- The Thinking Man.
A minimalistic theme for the thinking man who is watching the experiment with pure scientific interest.
- The Man with the Watch.
A simple clock tick for the man who is timing the experiment.
- The Boy.
A mysterious boy. We do not know whether this boy is closing the curtains or has his hand on the cord that might release the cage to be used for the saved bird. Through the window we see a moon through clouds. Here I use a simplified version of the "Thinking Man" theme for organ.

I also added some ambient sounds. In this case is the sound of wooden floor squeaks, some footsteps and bird's flapping wings.
