An international phone conversation, London to Berlin, with Elo Masing representing Berlin based WIG (improvisational trio), and Simon Tyszko in London, discussing the world’s first musical transcription produced by birds,
Music For Birds <\/strong> by WIG, and It’s genesis within the glamorous and rarefied world of cross species art with avian tandem Kakaduu.Agapornis Fischeri, better known by the artist name Kakaduu, is originally from Central Africa and now based in Berlin, Germany. They established themselves as artists in London, UK, where they lived from 2010 to 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

They have been active in the visual arts since 2010 and first gained recognition with the wood veneer and cardboard sculpture \u201cMe and My Home\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Other well-known works include \u201cMy Cage\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u201cMy Nightmares About the Cat\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kakaduu is one of the most remarkable contemporary practitioners of environmental art in Europe, choosing to use mostly recycled material in creating artworks. They prefer figurative wood sculpture, although often also paint on different materials. Favourite media include wood, wood veneer, cardboard, and coconut shell; for painting they use recycled food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Better known paintings from the mature period include \u201cKakaduu Shit on Canvas\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, \u201cKakaduu Shit on Glass\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, \u201cKakaduu Shit on Veneer\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, \u201cKakaduu Shit on Cupboard Door\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, \u201cKakaduu Shit on Porcelain\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, \u201cKakaduu Shit on A4\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u201cKakaduu Shit on DVD\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Well-known artworks from the most recent output include \u201cLondon\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, \u201cThe Dwarf\u2019s House on the Hill\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, \u201cWe Went to See the Elephant\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u201cThe Squirrel, the Cat and the Hare\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kakaduu\u2019s works have been shown at The First and Second International World Exhibition of Artist Birds<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kakaduu is represented by Gallery Zebra&Tiger<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New website in progress at www.kakaduu.art<\/a>. Watch this space!Scientists claim that birds\u2019 and animals\u2019 brains cannot discern complex intellectual objects such as music.<\/strong>

That for them, human music is like white noise, similar to the sound of rain, waves or rustling leaves for us. That they can\u2019t hear anything interesting in it, the same way we can\u2019t understand what birds say to each other, all their adventures and other information they share so vividly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This may very well be so – if during early development birds\u2019 brains are not exposed to music and don\u2019t learn to grasp it, they probably won\u2019t be able to do it later. Much like a human child who, growing up in the wild without hearing any human language, wouldn\u2019t be able to learn to speak as an adult, even when exposed to human speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it seems to us that birds\u2019 brains can be trained to hear music; they can discern very complex intellectual and emotional objects if they\u2019ve been exposed to them from an early age – for example if the birds have grown up in musicians\u2019 homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018, \u2018<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They become thoroughly unique experts on music, with their own completely unique taste, because their learning and teaching ability in the realm of sonic arts is great. If only someone saw it and knew how to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve been lucky that we\u2019ve come across two of such unique birds, who understand what\u2019s there in the music they hear and what\u2019s not in many respects better than humans. As choosing the right tracks for the album was much easier for them than it was for us, we gladly allowed Kakaduu to produce the record. Their enthusiastic chirping made it clear which pieces they preferred most. The album got put together quickly and insightfully and is dedicated to improving communication between birds and humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a story about how a bird taught us to listen, see, and think, too. About something important and beautiful. And about lots of other things, too, about which you can read on Kakaduu<\/a>‘s home page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Siuksuke discovered his talent at a very early age, even before he came to the pet shop, in the incubator already, where a lot of birds like him, as well as birds a bit different to him, were hatching, twittering excitedly,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

, \u2018<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

there he himself and everybody around him discovered<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018<\/p>\n\n\n\n

that he was an exceptionally talented bird<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O> \u2018<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and his talent manifested in his ability to listen.

When others twittered, he listened,

when others calmed down and became quiet, he tweeted.

Siuks, you have done great things, you\u2019ve taught us to understand bird language and listen to music as if for the first time every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

, \u2019 , \u2018<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To hear music as if for the first time every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve reminded us that we, too, have this ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018\u2018 \u2018\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I became thoughtful. Promised to Kakaduu that I\u2019d think about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c2\u00a4<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018For humans, everything is difficult, even the simple and pleasant things,\u2019 thought Kakaduu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, Kakaduu doesn\u2019t think<\/p>\n\n\n\n

or say what they think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
