Whistle Jam | Dante Rendle Traynor

Whistle Jam excerpt 1, ‘Oi G’ (0’40”)

Whistle Jam excerpt 2, Choral Chanting (1’38”)

Whistle Jam excerpt 3, ‘Audience participation’ (0’34”)

Whistle Jam excerpt 4, ‘Look over the edge’ (2’15”)

Whistle Jam excerpt 5, ‘Wayne joins in’ (2’16”)

Whistle Jam excerpt 6, ‘Choral Chanting’ (4’27”)

The work consisted of Dante and collaborator, Guthrie, positioned at the top and bottom of the stairwell at Woburn, each with an amplifier and microphone. The two artists attempted to have first a musical then simply a normal conversation across the space, the massive amount of reverb confounding any attempts of coherence!

This piece was made as a performance/installation for The Voice and Nothing More, Slade Research Centre, January 2010.
Dante is currently studying Undergraduate Fine Art at the Slade, look out for more from him soon.

The Voice and Nothing More | Sam Belinfante and Neil Luck

The Voice and Nothing More, January 2009, was a week-long festival exploring the voice as both medium and subject matter in contemporary arts practices. Both established and emerging artists worked with leading vocal performers and composers in an exploration of the voice outside language.

Invited performers included Mikhail Karikis, Lore Lixembourg and Juice, as well as a specially formed large-scale vocal ensemble.
Performers, working with the artists and resident composer Claudia Molitor created new score-objects that culminated in a series of new performances. Artists included Martin Creed, Cornelia Parker, Estelle Thompson and Bruce Mclean.
