When you listen to birds, they usually talk about food, sex/family, or anxiety. If they knew about the true nature of humanity's cruel and exploitative relationship with birds, they would be discussing rebellion. Humanity's current trajectory about birds is to cause the extinction of one-third of all bird species by the end of this century.

This record crystallises the borders between memory, beauty, and anxiety. At the core is an amalgam of all the birds we have met and heard, their sounds synthesised from a blend of memories. Esthetically it simulates the qualities of bird sounds, hitting similar frequential sweet spots. There is a great variety of birds captured here, from high to low frequencies, from solo voices to groups, from birds standing on their own to complex world-building, where the bird voices are part of an ecosystem, becoming one of the instruments.

You could stop there, enjoying this record on a musical level, but it invites us to do one step further, to consider reconfiguring our relationship with the Earth and its inhabitants. To question our impact, and to ask why we need synthetic bird music. Is it just a visionary endeavour or is it because we are failing at fostering a world in which organic birds and other creatures can thrive?

32 artists from the whole world, including our favourite artists from Eastern Europe, have contributed to this compilation both with new and previously released music. Their music is ordered from dawn to dusk and into the night. For many of the artists it's their first time on mappa, but some have previously released an album with us.

🕊🕊🕊
Profits from the record will be donated to the SOS/BirdLife Slovakia, organisation protecting the bird biotops by river Ipeľ, in south of Slovakia, where mappa has been formed.

Grykë Pyje - A Glitch In The Jungle

Writing early morning songs

He stumbles in with the moon on his shoes
No hello
Just the creak of bad news
His eyes are shadows
His voice a sigh
He’s a stranger
Not the guy who said goodbye

The clock ticks loud
It's almost cruel
I’m wide awake
He’s just a fool

You're the ghost of 5AM
Not the boy I knew back then
No texts
No calls
Just empty air
And now you’re here
But you're not there

Whiskey whispers on his breath
His silence feels like a kind of death
I scream my questions
But they fall flat
He's somewhere else
Not where I’m at

The sunrise hits
It cuts like glass
I’m losing you to every glass

You fade like smoke,
You blur like sound,
A ghost that walks,
But never turns around.
Your shadow lingers
In the shape of my bed
You’re half-alive,
And half of me’s dead.

And now the light crawls through the blinds,
The truth hits harder every time.
I reach for you, but there’s nothing there
Just the ghost of 5AM
And empty air.

This is the tune that's going to get me banned from America. Trumpty Dumpty is about a nasty old man who's afraid of walking down stairs. Fingernail Tree Rings - well that's entirely different. Some people who've experienced it might know what it's about.

The Lunation Mix (2025)

My yearly goal of making a track to celebrate Halloween has been achieved!
This track is inspired by the lieks of Blame!, Dredd, SCP-1678, SCP-7005 and Silksong's underworks. 
Most of the sounds are synthesized, such as the weather, water flow and the foghorns. 

Artwork is rendered in Blender and post-processed in photoshop.
