"Whisper"
Composed from cult British experimental sound-artist Scanner and developed in association with FutureAcoustic, Whisper sounds like nothing you've ever encountered before. Think of it as self-generative sound, adapting in response to your environment.
It's unique, ambient - and utterly hypnotic. Unleashing a whole new acoustic experience for the listener, Whisper is an infinite piece of sound art weaved into your everyday environment.

Commissioned to create a work around the city of London this work took a red
double-decker bus as it’s focus. Making a route determined by overlaying
the sheet music from London Bridge is Falling Down onto a map of London, I recorded
the sounds and images at points where the notes fell on the cityscape. These
co-ordinates provided the score for the piece and by using software that translated
images into sound and original source recordings, I was able to mix the work
live on each journey through a speaker system we installed throughout the bus,
as it followed the original walk shuttling between Big Ben and St Paul’s
Cathedral.
Through the brief space of a bus journey the work drew upon many of our common
reserves of sonic recognition, mingling the folk memory of the nursery rhyme,
the background roar of traffic and the private sounds we make secure in the
knowledge that no one else is listening.
Here is the complete soundtrack for the work, edited into five easy sections
for download.
