Camilla’s Clockwork Cluck Crew

Narrative & Festival Context

Festival Program Note

Feathers line up with military precision as the BPM climbs past polite territory. A lead hen calls the steps—left, right, spin, stomp—each cue harder and faster than the last. What starts like a dance craze mutates into a professional endurance test. If you can keep up, you’re certified. If not… observe from a safe distance.

Lead Puppet Producer

Riff – Riff thought she was producing a schranz / hardstyle track. Camilla thought she was staging a war drill. Within ten minutes it was clear who was actually in charge. Camilla barely commented on sound design—but she had sixteen-count combinations mapped before the first kick was finalized, demanding specific BPM ranges, exact drop lengths, and clean, unforgiving transients because “we land on that.” Riff leaned into it, tightening the kick until it felt like a metronome with teeth, carving space so every stomp, neck snap, and talon pivot would read from the back rail. The half-time bridge wasn’t for vibe—it was for breath control before the burst. By the final render, Riff admitted something rare: this wasn’t a dance track with choreography added. It was choreography that forced the music to become sharper, faster, cleaner. Camilla didn’t produce the song—but she absolutely engineered the pressure.

Track Dedication

I know I said this album was avoiding dedications, but I’m cheating—again. This one is for the dancers, hype crews, stage teams, flag squads, mascots, and everyone whose job is “just be eye candy” for a bigger name on the poster. Again.
You’re not set dressing. You’re athletes, storytellers, and energy generators—holding choreography, timing, facial expressions, and crowd connection all at once while making it look effortless. For every rehearsal in an empty hall, every bruise covered in makeup, every night you hit your marks so someone else can look iconic on camera: feathers up, heads high. You’re part of the show, not the wallpaper.

Low squat
Claws trace the floor

Pop hips
Hit 8
Hit 4

Pivot on the talon
Triple spin in the dust
Heel-peck
Heel-peck
Jump on the thrust
Shoulder twitch
Wing glitch in a staggered row
Sixteen hits clean
Then a freeze on the blow

Camilla's clockwork cluck crew
Tick-tick-tick on cue
Every stomp
Every twitch
Dead true
Eight wings wide in a razor V view
Drop low
Then rise
Then strike
Feathered fury locked tight on the mic
Crowd screams
But they move straight through
Camilla's clockwork cluck crew

Row one
Necks roll
Row two
Toes fold
Row three
Jump split
Snap back
No slip
Double kick
Tail flick
Slam in a line
Knees knock
Claws clock
Perfect design
Slide in a circle
Heads bob
Then stop
Wave from the captain
Whole flock pop-pop

Camilla calls a combo with a blink and a clack
Backflip bird
Land clean
No crack
Fast feet
Floor beat
Feathers in flight
Six bars straight
Not a breath
Just bite

Camilla's clockwork cluck crew
Tick-tick-tick on cue
Every stomp
Every twitch
Dead true
Eight wings wide in a razor V view
Drop low
Then rise
Then strike
Feathered fury locked tight on the mic
Crowd screams
But they move straight through
Camilla's clockwork cluck crew
Camilla's clockwork cluck crew
Camilla's clockwork cluck crew

Left claw
Drag
Right claw
Drag
Slow head
Turn
Sharp gaze
Burn
Three-count glide
Then a mid-air twist
Land in a lattice
Zero drift
One breath held
Beaks shut
Eyes wide
Then burst, full sprint in a feathered slide

Camilla's clockwork cluck crew
Tick-tick-tick on cue
Every stomp
Every twitch
Dead true
Eight wings wide in a razor V view
From the barnyard straight to mainstage proof
They write every beat with a feather and hoof
Last hit
Last split
Last view
