With my idea for Supervink & Ironmus I was only a small step away from Songbird,
a presentation/performance that unites my two biggest passions: music and nature.
I couldn't resist this challenge.
Birdsong has been an inexhaustible source of inspiration for artists throughout history. There are so many creations that still appeal to the imagination. From Blackbird (The Beatles) to The Cuckoo and The Nightingale (Händel). From Fly Like an Eagle (The Steve Miller Band) to Bird on a Wire (Leonard Cohen). From Catalogue d’Oiseaux (Messiaen) to Songbird (Fleetwood Mac). The list is long.
Songbird embodies my ever growing fascination for birds. In this performance I combine compelling facts with stories about observations that left me dazzled. I complement the words with live music: a selection of well know songs, each of them inspired by our feathered friends. A dive in a wonderful world, that is waiting for us, just outside our door.
Don't hesitate to get in touch for further details!
