Birdsong Studio

Our pop-up Birdsong Studio is a low-infrastructure portable event which gives individuals a ten-minute opportunity to get to know Planet Birdsong's basic principles. Participants sing various sounds whilst following spectrographs, or graphic images of sounds, and hearing them slowed down. It is a kind of karaoke which makes birdsong more accessible to the human ear and timeframe. This is filmed and then sped up to the speed of the bird, and a video clip will be sent to each participant. ​ Watch this movie to see how it works.

The Birdsong Studio can currently be booked anywhere in the UK, subject to availability, for reasonable expenses and a suitable donation to Planet Birdsong. It is an integral part of many of our schools workshops, and is often combined with birdsong walks and/or a performance by The Conference of Birds. Future plans include converting the birdsong studio into a mobile game.
