Hope you will enjoy it !

A image of a Capercaillie bird in a forest very processed. We can see dots and spread of colours a bit like impressionist paintings. The most present colors are blue, green yellow and pink.

Capercaillie, by Nicolas Zentz

2 track album

Capercaillie

An album by Nicolas Zentz Released 2026-02-05 Capercaillie is the result of 50 transformations of the same recording of a Western Capercaillie bird. For these transformations I used Supercollider and FFT processing. The analysis is disturbed by strong modulations so that artifacts appear and create melodies and rhythmic patterns extracted from the bird song. The original sound is dissected and reinterpreted by the computer again and again, which fails each time to reconstruct it perfectly. As the processing patch evolves and expands, the idea of the bird dissolves in the digital domain, fading into a spectral memory. As listeners we summon this ghost by recognizing patterns and traces from the original bird, leaving us with an uncanny sense of familiarity.   Coda is a small improvisation that employs other processing techniques.
