the project

a collaboration with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology

Every beat starts with a real field recording from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. The birdsong carries the melody, I add chords and chiptune styles, and stylish sound design and foley ambience do the rest. Bird Boy lets you learn to identify bird calls by listening to lofi beats!
