Man Is Not a Bird

"Man Is Not a Bird" is the moody electronic brainchild of British producer Jack Duckworth, a Nottingham-based artist crafting brooding synthscapes that blend darkwave, post-punk, and industrial textures. Taking its name from Dušan Makavejev’s 1965 avant-garde film, the project mirrors its cinematic roots with atmospheric tracks that feel like shadowy film scores for existential crises. Since emerging in the mid-2010s, Duckworth has carved a niche with releases like *Dream Forever* and *Marble Tears*, pairing gritty basslines with introspective lyrics about modern disconnection. Collaborations with acts like The Twilight Sad and SBCR (as seen on remix singles *Haze* and *Rove*) highlight his ties to the underground electro scene, while tracks like *Survived the Great Flood* and *Running Endlessly* showcase his knack for balancing dancefloor-ready rhythms with gothic emotional heft. Perfect for fans of coldwave and introspective electronica, the project thrives in the space where industrial beats meet poetic gloom.
