Are You for Real?
0:00

A K-pop song in the Jay Jabiru style. Love in the age of AI makes us question whether the intentions are genuine — or even whether the person behind the screen is real at all, when the connection began online. Shamisen strings meet glitch effects and K-pop energy: the traditional and the modern in one unresolved question.

Warp Closer [Remix]
0:00

An electronic song set in space, in the Jay Jabiru style. A long-distance relationship. The remembrance of good times. A song that sends you on a journey through space — mesmerising sound effects, lyrics with a slight whimsical touch — and underneath it all, the feeling of missing your other half.

Words
View from the Ridge
Weakly, day's last rays scratch sparse horizon of alders, birches, heavy lashes breaking silence, powerfully clear in essence, night-unraveled black wings' pure magnificence. Skillfully poured ink, shadow-peeled fine strokes of feathers, a free-floating charcoal cry of smoke, croaking imprecise complaints, knitted seamlessly into the night; there he sits — he watches you he tilts his head from left to right his wise shrewd eyes inquire. Suddenly, from roof top's edge, it falls, quiet drop of swinging black wings with gray slate's sickle: Death's abbot of the night. Briefly, quite boldly, the curve of phantom's flight to birch's swaying wire. There jerks, there heaves the birch crown, from claw grip and wing beat. Wet branches, leaves, last quivering, last shimmering, of golden fragments, the day's last rays' glow of fire.

About

Jay Jabiru Art

Jay Jabiru makes Jabiru K-Pop charged with ancient instruments, glitch textures and cyberpunk space. You haven't heard anything like it.

Jay Jabiru creates a sound built from energetic K-Pop, traditional Asian instruments, and the dark shimmer of cyberpunk space. Shamisen meets synthesizer. Ancient meets orbital. Glitch textures fracture the signal just enough to let something real through.

The music explores what connects us and what breaks down between us — relationships, communication, technology's gifts and its costs. It doesn't preach. It pulls you in.

Jay Jabiru is a European artist, poet and maker. Influenced by world-builders like Jarre, Björk and Kate Bush, he approaches music the way he approaches everything — with his hands first. He plays tin whistle, ocarina and several flutes, owns a pipa he is stubbornly learning, and builds things from wood, fire and papier-mâché.

He speaks English, German and Spanish, and knows enough words in enough other languages to greet strangers on the tram in their own tongue. He is a carpenter, an educator, a chess and Go player, a free climber, and a self-described vegan fisher — certified, never successful. He keeps two pacific parrotlets. All of it ended up in the music.
