Wind bird on the tree

This album was composed with the support of the Hudobný Fond 2020 grant in Slovakia and released in March 2021. Conceived as a sonic tribute to the UNESCO World Heritage town of Banská Štiavnica, the music translates its lakes, historic architecture, and surrounding forests into sound, capturing the town’s shifting atmosphere and moods.

Produced entirely with virtual instruments and layered with field recordings, the work is structured into three interconnected sections—The Tree, The Bird, and The Wind—designed to be played simultaneously from separate devices, allowing listeners to generate their own spatial audio experience. The piece is also accompanied by an evocative music video that expands its visual narrative.

Created during a period of social distance, the composition explores the dynamic cooperation found in nature, where the wind becomes both vehicle and song, carrying stories and resonating from within the listener.
