Vocals & Collaborations
LOCKDOWN Music collaboration with chris menist
The collab began with simple back and forths about what they were reading and what had sparked their interest in Lockdown. Chris was reading a lot about the history of Indian Ocean trade routes. Kitty had become interested in bird watching and identifying different bird calls on her lockdown walks.
Following the Indian ocean trade routes, Kitty became interested in birds that matched the same route in their migration. One of which was the Amur Falcon. The falcon is an incredible bird who travels 22,000 km on the Asian - East African Flyway. She took online samples of the bird's numerous calls and matched it with vocal lines to mimic the flight of the Amur Falcon. Creating the feeling of soaring and diving like the Falcon, letting go and letting the ocean winds help the listener take flight.
