Commissioned for Folkestone Triennial, Hanna Tuulikki’s Love (Warbler Remix) takes inspiration from the Marsh Warbler, a migratory bird celebrated for its extraordinary mimicry, weaving songs of dozens of species into complex sequences. Broadcast from a former military site overlooking the Channel, the work remixes traditional human love songs collected along the bird’s migratory flyway with live ambient recordings from Dungeness’s historic sound mirrors. Framed through the fictional Love Warbler, this polyphonic, multispecies composition transforms ‘nature’s original DJ into a guide for rethinking migration – not as disruption, but as a vital connective process central to all life.

As a companion ritual invocation for the Marsh Warbler’s return to Kent, on the opening day of Folkestone Triennial, Tuulikki performed a series of solo vocal improvisations in the guise of a Love Warbler, animating the acoustic of the Lade Pits’ listening ears.
