Music inspired by a journey to the Sahara in southern Algeria in May 2025. I heard a couple of the songs over the stereo of the battered Landcruiser with which we travelled this extraterrestrial landscape. Other songs are from this region or simply seemed to fit the mood. Weiterlesen

The flight of a starling flock at dusk, know as a murmuration, is one of nature’s most beguiling sights. Blurring the line between the individual and the group, murmurations involve synchronised swooping patterns to ward off predators and exchange information in a manner that’s still something of a mystery to scientists. This two-minute excerpt from the Dutch filmmaker Jan van Ijken’s short documentary The Art of Flying follows a spectacular aerial performance from a massive, shape-shifting starling flock over an open field in the Netherlands.
