A Whisper
by Wilson T. Smith
for melodic instrument and walkie talkies (6'). January 2023
soloist: Marianne Sihvonen (alto flute)
walkie talkies: Janine Jop, Helena Atkin, Wilson T. Smith, Aaron Gochberg, Alicia Reyes and Viktória Šinkorová
An open, improvised, wandering piece for walkie talkies and melodic instrument.
Recorded to stereo, but this is a piece where the liveness is important: the soundscape is created from the subtle filtering effect of ensemble members' hands covering the speakers of a set of walkie talkies on an open channel. Performed 10 January 2023 at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre / Eesti Muusika- ja Teatriakadeemia in Tallinn, Estonia.
