Globalwarmingis a topic that elicits impassioned anger in some and resigned shrugs in others seldom is anyone ever genuinely excited to talk about it. So when Sirintip decided she wanted to make an album about climate change, she knew it had to be sexy. She started by examining materials available in her Uptown Manhattan apartment: plastic trash from her kitchen and a water jug she decided to use as a drum to create. She also wanted to incorporate sounds from nature; she found a video online of a bird native to New Guinea, the Black Sicklebill, and sampled its strangely melodic mating call.
The result was an upbeat, jazz-infused song that washes over you like a rising tide: Plastic Bird is a part of her second album, carbon, which dropped last October. The entire project is like a sonic Trojan Horse, so sensual and experimental that a first-time listener wouldnt necessarily know that it was about the man-made destruction of our planet. For Sirintip, thats the point.
I dont think we will find solutions by making climate change a more polarized topic, she told HuffPost. You still have to make an album about climate change, fine art and enjoy the music for what it is.
When I tell Sirintip, a half-Thai, half-Swedish multimodal musician, that she reminds me of a Thai Solange, she smiles and tells me its not the first time shes heard that. Her experimental and tantric rhythms feel drawn from a deep place. Like a certain Knowles sister, she is unafraid to delve into the more peripheral parts of her cultural repertoire for inspiration. She uses Thai instruments and sounds not often heard in Western music, electronic and pop beats that harken to ABBAs homeland and jazz, which brought her to New York in the first place. Many songs on carbon are slow burn and dont have clear-cut melodies or hooks. In other words, Sirintip is not here to make TikTok music.

The drums on the recording are a blend of sampled plastic trash from Sirintip's kitchen, plastic water jugs as a part of the drum kit, and a grand piano recorded through a plastic container. The biodiversity part is emphasized during the intro where the rhythms of the vocal loops are transcribed from the Black Sickelbills mating dance. While writing the lyrics to Plastic Bird, Sirintip drew parallels to imposter syndrome: a plastic toy bird who wants to fly like the real birds but its fear of being discovered prevents it from even trying.\n\nDirector - Nitcha Tothong @nitchafame\nScreenwriters - Sirintip Phasuk, Nitcha Tothong @mssirintip @nitchafame\nExecutive Producers - New York Foundation of the Arts, Sirintip Phasuk @nyfacurrent \nProducer - Phapfun Watcharasombat @phapfun.w\nDirector of Photography - Derek Siyarngnork @de9rek\nFirst Assistant Camera - Ackrawin Rungruangviechakul @ackychan\nSet Director - Suphitcha Donsrichan @jay_a_n\nTalent - Sirintip Maia Schechter @maia.schechter\nChoreographer - Winnie Asawakanjanakit @whanwink\nGaffer - Natt Siritanapivat @natt_siritanapivat\nGaffer 2 - Thitipol Samuttha @unknown_reflections\nCostume Designer - Darunee Jaroonrueng @luxyoung\nHair and Makeup - Wutthipong Khrueawan @action_act\nHair and Makeup Assistant - Kritwamornpan Nairong @yammie_kritwa\nEditor - Krint Thitawattanakul @krint.t\nColorist - Tuchtram Thientawach @tuchtramt\nArt Director - Nitcha Tothong @nitchafame\nSpecial Effects and Animation - Nitcha Tothong Suphitcha Donsrichan @nitchafame @jay_a_n\nRunner - Brick Thana @brickthn\nRunner - Chutima Kaolerk @cchutima_k\nProduction Assistant - Kengchakaj Kengkarnka, Nolan Byrd @kengchakaj @byrddryms\nActing Consultant - Casey Hartnett\n\nSpecial Thanks - Tyler Henry, Jirat Sompakdee, Luobin Wang, Julphan Tilapornputt, Marasee Tontandiew, Phai Choeiklintes, Pearl Foong \n\nLocation - The Atrium, Bushwick \n\nWith support from - The NYC Womens Fund for Media, Music and Theatre by the City of New York Mayors Office of Media and Entertainment in association with The New York Foundation for the Arts\n\nFollow GroundUP Music\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groundupmusicworld \nTwitter: https://twitter.com/groundupmusicny \nInstagram: https://instagram.com/groundupmusicny \nWebsite: https://groundupmusic.net","options":{"_cc_load_policy":{"label":"Closed captions","value":false},"_end":{"label":"End on","placeholder":"ex.: 11, 1m10s","value":""},"_start":{"label":"Start from","placeholder":"ex.: 11, 1m10s","value":""},"click_to_play":{"label":"Hold load & play until clicked","value":false}},"provider_name":"YouTube","thumbnail_height":480,"thumbnail_url":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YtPBHLjrOss/sddefault.jpg","thumbnail_width":640,"title":"Sirintip - Plastic Bird feat.
