Chute Open: Birds of Den Haag

Birds of Den Haag is a 20-minute sound piece composed of recordings from the forests of Den Haag, where I spent time between mid-March and the first week of May. It features the calls of 24 different bird species, ambient sounds from my walking routes, wind, water, and the sometimes-working, sometimes-malfunctioning sounds of a mechanical bird toy.I created this piece at a time when I felt closely connected to the vibrant yet intense cycles of birds-full of joy and chirping, but also struggle, tension, alertness, and raw wilderness. With this work, I wanted to bring Cine-Biology to a close through a soundscape that captures that energy.
