"Above the Sound". A Conversation with Ornithologist "What Birds Sing About", August 20, 2026

🐦 Nature can surprise no less than music.

🌿 At the "Above the Sound" festival (August 12-26, 2026), researchers will talk about the animals, birds, and natural processes of the Caucasus.

🏔️ Karachay-Cherkessia is becoming a real open-air laboratory.

✨ The scientific program helps to see the beauty of the surrounding world through knowledge and observation.

🐦 Event Program:

🦜 How do birds "talk" to each other? What signals help them warn of danger, find a mate, and transmit information within a group?

🌿 Together with ornithologist Irina Morozova, we will delve into the complex system of bird communication and try to hear the real "messages" hidden behind the voices of feathered creatures in nature.

🎧 Program includes:
• analysis of signals and calls of different bird species;
• listening to real audio examples;
• an attempt to "decode" their meaning;
• discussion of how local bird dialects are formed and how they spread – almost like a cultural tradition.

🧠 We will try to look at bird voices as a language – with its own structure, logic, and meaning – and even imagine how it might sound translated into human speech.

🎼 The evening will be complemented by a musical program from the artists of the "Above the Sound" festival, creating a dialogue between natural and human sounds.

🥂 Before the event, guests will be treated to a welcome glass of champagne or juice and light snacks.
