Hildegard Westerkamp – Whisper Study 1975-1979
“Whisper Study is based on the sentence “When there is no sound, hearing is most alert” (a quote from the Indian mystic Kirphal Singh in Naam or Word). Except for the distant horns, all sounds were derived from my own voice, whispering the above sentence and the word “silence”.
Whisper Study started out as an exercise in exploring basic tape techniques in the analog studio of the 70s and using the whispered voice as sound material. Eventually, it became a piece about silence, aural perception and acoustic imagination. Whisper Study explores the place or moment where sound ends and its image begins.
The poem “When There is No Sound” by Norbert Ruebsaat was written in direct response to the
original version of Whisper Study. The poem in this version is spoken by myself inside a soundscape of icicles and footsteps in snow, which originally was created for my radio series Soundwalking on Vancouver Co–operative Radio in 1978/79. Eventually this section was mixed with the last part of the original version of Whisper Study.” Hildegard Westerkamp
