Tianjun Li, performing as Timjune, is a musician, vocalist, and interdisciplinary artist based in Finland. Harnessing an exceptional four-octave vocal range, he constructs immersive, layered sonic landscapes that transcend conventional boundaries of gender and species.<\/p>\n
For Pikknikk 2026, Timjune presents a live iteration of his ongoing project, Free as Birds<\/i>. Tracing the migratory paths of birds, the work establishes a direct dialogue between artificial intelligence and the human voice. Traditional bird songs are translated into speculative “bird languages,” then reinterpreted through diverse vocal practices \u2013 including Nordic kulning, Mongolian long song, Cretan rizitika, and Corsican polyphony \u2013\u00a0performed alongside local choirs from varied communities.<\/p>\n
The resulting performance merges environmental soundscapes, AI-generated elements, and human choirs into a hybrid auditory experience. In a site-specific twist at the Nordic House’s greenhouse, the audience is invited to join the bird song choir, becoming active participants in this convergence of nature, technology, and sound.<\/p>\n
Tianjun Li, som upptr\u00e4der under namnet Timjune, \u00e4r en musiker, s\u00e5ngare och tv\u00e4rvetenskaplig konstn\u00e4r baserad i Finland. Med ett exceptionellt r\u00f6stomf\u00e5ng p\u00e5 fyra oktaver konstruerar han omf\u00e5ngsrika och m\u00e5ngfacetterade ljudlandskap som \u00f6verskrider k\u00f6nets och artens konventionella gr\u00e4nser.<\/p>\n
F\u00f6r Pikknikk 2026 presenterar Li en live-iteration av sitt p\u00e5g\u00e5ende projekt, Free as Birds<\/i>. Genom att sp\u00e5ra f\u00e5glars flyttv\u00e4gar skapar verket en direkt dialog mellan artificiell intelligens och den m\u00e4nskliga r\u00f6sten. Typiska f\u00e5gels\u00e5nger \u00f6vers\u00e4tts till spekulativa “f\u00e5gelspr\u00e5k” som sedan omtolkas genom olika s\u00e5ngtraditioner \u2013 inklusive nordisk kulning, mongolisk l\u00e5ngs\u00e5ng, kretensisk rizitika och korsikansk polyfoni \u2013 framf\u00f6rda tillsammans med lokala k\u00f6rer fr\u00e5n olika samh\u00e4llen.<\/p>\n
Den resulterande f\u00f6rest\u00e4llningen fogar samman milj\u00f6m\u00e4ssiga ljudlandskap, AI-genererade element och m\u00e4nskliga k\u00f6rer till en hybrid h\u00f6rupplevelse. Specialutformat f\u00f6r Nordens hus v\u00e4xthus inbjuds publiken att delta i f\u00e5gels\u00e5ngsk\u00f6ren och d\u00e4rmed aktivt bidra till denna blandning av natur, teknologi och ljud.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
