chicka dee-dee-dee ~
that’s the unmistakable sound of the black-capped chickadee, a hearty little borb that knows its way around the woods all year ’round ~

Black-capped chickadee came to be on a trip to the family farm ~ they have so many Black-capped Chickadees out there and they’re such a fun bird.

I made this beat on my MPC One running in standalone mode. That means no computer! Black-capped chickadee is also played as a brisk 140 beats-per-minute, and features a laid back club beat I thought the chickadees might like!

here’s a listen to the original sample from the Macaulay Library at Cornell University, an incredible resource of bird information. So happy to be working with them to clear samples like this for my beats ~!
