The Azores Blackbird sang at dawn in the Pico Island. Their song is a bit melancholic and full of expression. At first, I thought it was the same as the blackbirds I knew from the UK, but listening closely, I realised it’s a unique subspecies with its own song. This piece is built around that moment of discovery, blending birdsong with human harmony and beats to create a dialogue across species.
