Wingbeats is a musical composition that explores the realm of what the musicians of
Paris Peacock call Magnified Micro Music. The ensemble creates this soundscape using maximally cranked microphones placed close to their acoustic instruments played at a whisper’s volume. This technique allows them to explore a sonic field that is not often heard, much like a magnifying glass for sound. The inspiration for this unique approach comes from British photographer Levon Biss’ super-magnified images of insects, which reveal unseen spellbinding patterns and colours. With a duration of 40 minutes, Wingbeats uncovers a universe of subtle sonics and offers a captivating new perspective on the world of sound, just as Biss’ photos
do on the world of insects.
The NFT format allows Paris Peacock to present the music via a specifically designed web page that invites the listener to explore the universe of WINGBEATS in multiple ways. Besides enabling streaming and downloading of the music in high resolution, the platform gives you exclusive access to supplemented content that illuminates the music and its magnifying conception in various ways through; video, essays, documentation material, as well as extended liner notes by musician/composer Simon Toldam. All of which will give you a distinctive and compelling insight into the artistic process of the WINGBEATS project.
