On the opening night of the festival, we immerse ourselves in music inspired by other animal species. Eilien has composed music for cows and cranes, as well as composed music with the help of a programmed imaginary thrush bird. The goddess of ambient music Pink-187 plays songs from her archives that are inspired by songs of other animal species.
Eilien combines text-based coding, field recordings and their own voice. Their debut album Digital Lovers was released 2021. Music for cows and cranes, as well as music with imaginary thrush bird have been heard on Eläinharha -radio essay (Yle, 2023).
