#Blackbird Interactive

🐦‍⬛🎶 Blackbird singing in the dead of night Eurasian blackbird.

Visualizing the song of a blackbird (Turdus merula) with visuals composited on live footage. New add-on: the points color now is completely independent from the visual shapes/development and it's related exclusively on frequency. A color band below indicates which color corresponds to a specific frequency band, in a range from 2k Hz to 8k Hz which is roughly where this blackbird song develops. Each point brings the color of the most active frequency band at that specific moment (roughly, considering there are multiple frequencies constantly at play, harmonics etc). A spectrogram image of the audio is at the bottom, to give a better idea of how the frequency range is translated visually. This visual is a datapoint model generated by amplitude oscillations, no fixed measurements on the axes. Each point has an amplitude value (top) on a scale of 0 to 1 and an emission lifetime (bottom), measured in frames at a rate of 60 fps. The animation is generative and meant to be looped with ever changing shapes. Created with Touchdesigner, filmed and recorded by myself. #blackbird #datavisualization #touchdesigner #bird #birdsong #generative #realtime #visual

🪶 "BIRD" 🐦‍⬛ by @paulalucasart and made with #Blender3D. My most recent commission - a really fun challenge making non-standard VTuber models! This is my test live tracking my motion in VSeeFace to make sure it's all working correctly🪶 #Blender #b3d #blendercommunity #MadewithBlender #blenderrender #3D #lowpoly3d #bird #crow

Seeing through the song of a blackbird (Turdus merula). Very common here in North Italy during springtime, the blackbird has a really vast serie of verses on different pitches. I listen to them since years and I'm always amazed by their variety. Their singing makes the spring beautiful. Visuals created with Touchdesigner. I did the shooting/recording as well. #bird #blackbird #birdsong #touchdesigner #visual #realtime #datavisualization

repost @lucioarese Visualization of the colourful singing of a blackbird (Turdus merula) on a cherry tree. Blackbirds are ideal to experiment with since they’re relatively easy to film, they’re quite common here and their song has a huge variety of verses, pitches and trills at different frequency ranges. Few seconds of singing can have tens of different features, each one to be elaborated and inserted into the context properly. As much as I try to simplify the workflow I regularly end up with colossal networks which barely hold together and I realize I listen to every single song hundreds if not thousands of times. Still a good deal of work is needed to optimize everything. While completely built on amplitude data and its various modulations, these animations are not intended to be dry mathematical models. The shape of the visuals is very much about my personal interpretation of every song, its inflections, pauses, different accents on different frequencies. In a sense, they become generative visual scores. Each point has an amplitude data (above) on a scale of 0 to 1 and an emission lifetime (below), measured in frames at a rate of 60 fps. Created with Touchdesigner, filming and sound recording by me. #blackbird #bird #birdsong #touchdesigner #visual #nature #datavisualization

Here's 10 Blackbird calls 🐦‍⬛🔊 Members of the Icteridae family are not all black in color, despite being referred to as Blackbirds. "Icteridae" comes from "ictericus" which is Latin for "jaundiced ones" as many Blackbirds have yellow feathers.

This is my first transcription of the common blackbird (Turdus merula), and I'm absolutely captivated by its remarkably tonal song, which features numerous triads and even a modal progression! This collaboration with Reyhan, planned for weeks, involved sharing scores, videos, and meticulous preparation. We're thrilled to present the final product, transposed down a major third to accommodate Reyhan's whistling range. For an extended clip with the original birdsong, solo whistling, and further insights, please check out the video on YouTube.

Gusty day at the Chirp-cuterie board and one feisty blackbird. #birds #birdfeeder #birdcam #wildbirds #wildlife #birdwatching #relaxing #nature #baltimoreorioles #bluejays #chirpcuterie #charcuterie #catvideos #foryourcat

Spot the golden beak? That’s how you know this is a mature male blackbird in his prime 🌟 These garden favourites are actually members of the thrush family, and their rich, flute-like melodies can carry up to 250 metres. Fun fact: Blackbirds were originally woodland birds but have become one of our most successful urban adapters! What’s your favourite bird song? Drop a 🎶 if you’ve been lucky enough to hear a blackbird’s evening serenade! #birdfact #blackbird #birdsong #britishwildlife #naturesounds #wildlifephotography #birdsofinstagram #naturelovers #birdwatching #ukbirds #ornithoLogy #birdbehaviour
