In 'Whisperings: Whistleblowers' the atmospheric sensibility of electro-acoustic wind instruments is grounded as political voices are mixed into and amplified by the wind. At a time when whistleblowers expose the ways in which we are manipulated by invisible powers, these instruments transform uncomfortable revelations, warnings, and signals into sounds and chants, narrated by artificially generated voices.
Commissioned by the Dystopie sound art festival 2020, the environment was originally conceived as an outdoor sonic intervention for a public space in one of Berlin’s S-bahn stations, the work was subsequently installed in an indoor gallery space because requisite permissions could not be obtained for the public installation.
