Borders don’t stop the birds when they fly high at the sky and challenge the force of gravitation. It is no wonder that the birds symbolize freedom. They’re free to come and go, there is no sense to ask are they locals or visitors. Bird song is the connecting subject in the sound world of the Heavy Feather. The birds heard in the Heavy Feather are captured in the different environments of North and South. The journey travels from seaside to forest and noisy city. There is a constant play, or competition, going on between the different birds. From time to time ‘natural’ birds encounter ‘artificial’, electronically generated birds. The work ends noisily. There is no place for tiny chirps and delicate whistles in the urban context where the sounds of civilization heavily overload the acoustical environment. |
