Explore a vision of a contemporary sonic myth and compose an anthem for whistling. Participate in sonic and somatic activities as we delve into the possibilities of developing our musical language.
About
Creating a nomadic space for experimentation and learning, these workshops aim to explore the social power of collective whistling, fostering community connections, and peer building. Each session is followed by a composer responding to the project with a song for collective whistling.
Composer Neil Luck’s work often engages with ideas around creating new, or weirding old traditions. For the workshop at Taco! he has devised a suite of experimental pieces for any number of whistling voices, based on various traditions of partner/game singing. These will be further adapted, personalised, and reinvented by participants to create a body of music of strange logics and twisted musical codes.

Each session stands alone; however, there will be a correlation between the gatherings As the project progresses, we will also incorporate recently commissioned music as the foundation for our workshops, ultimately leading towards the publication of an LP.
A planned live broadcast performance on RTM forms part of the workshop.
