Eulen in Handtüchern

Wenn ihr mal einen nicht ganz so guten Tag habt, klickt ihr auf Owls in Towels. Da gibt es allerhand Fotos von Eulen. In Handtüchern. Und dann geht es gleich schon wieder etwas besser.

Wildlife rehabilitators often wrap owls in fabric so they can be weighed, treated, and fed. If not, the owls get in a flap.

Vogelsymphonie von Band

Toll nerdige Spielerei von Alexey Seliverstov mal wieder.

The soundscape is built around real-time generative bird songs. I connected the Orbita to four independent Hachijo Tape Manipulators, each generating the sound of a different artificial bird through an analog tape delay (Roland Space Echo).

The signal from the Space Echo runs through a Marantz loudspeaker and is captured by two Oktava mics, alongside other creature sounds pre-recorded on cassettes.

Each circle on the Orbita controls its own bird, while different colors trigger different parts of a bird reel inside the tape manipulator with some amount of randomness.

The entire soundscape was recorded on tape.

Dominik Eulberg gefällt das.

The Birdwatchers

Ein mehrfach preisgekrönter Naturdokumentarfilm von Thomas Winward der sich denen widmet, die Vögel beobachten.

What does it mean to be a birdwatcher? Why is access to nature important? What makes someone get up at 3 a.m. to go birdwatching in the pouring rain?

My goal for 2024 was to make a short documentary off my own back. I self-funded, directed, shot and edited this little film about birdwatching in London, saying to myself that if it encouraged just one person to take environmental action it would be a success.

The response has blown me away.

It has been screened across the UK as well as in Canada and Colombia, where I introduced it in (clumsy) Spanish.

It has been selected for 12 film festivals and nominated for 8 awards, including Best Documentary at the BIFA-qualifying Sunrise Film Festival.

It has won 4 awards.
