Three Thousand Songs is a musical project that takes as its point of departure a bird known for having one of the largest vocal repertoires in the avian world—an archive built not through invention, but through imitation as a form of essential renewal.
The project explores how the mimicry and borrowing of sounds, gestures, and expressions from our surrounding environment—and their subsequent reconfiguration—shape and inform our own forms of expression. Through ongoing research into improvisation, repetition, and transformation, Three Thousand Songs investigates the blurred boundaries between imitation and originality, questioning conventional notions of authorship and the idea of a singular origin.
The project proposes imitation not as an act of reproduction, but as a generative process: a way of absorbing, transforming, and continuously renewing what already exists.
