Abstract
Nikola Tesla was a brilliant engineer and eccentric renowned as the inventor of radio and alternating current. However, his greatest love was not for technology but for a pigeon. Avian Love is a sound artwork inspired by Tesla’s deep love for his beloved pigeon, charged with electricity and electrifying emotions. Tesla explains, “There was one, a beautiful bird…I loved that pigeon as a man loves a woman, and she loved me. As long as I had her, there was a purpose to my life.”
Originally commissioned by Deutschlandradio Kultur – in this live adaptation of Avian Love – Colin Black electrifies the atmosphere of the space, igniting the imagination while leading you on an intimate sonic adventure. Through his artistry – which won Black the Sound Art Audience Award at the 2023 Prix Phonurgia Nova Award in France for this work – he skillfully weaves together elements to commemorate one of the most electrifying love stories of the twentieth century.
