8-channel sound installation for the sounds of clay whistles

duration variable

In East-Central Poland there is a village called Gwizdały. It's name in Polish language means “whistles” (from pl. gwizdać – en. to whistle). The village's primary school is home for museum of whistles, Muzeum Gwizdka, in which collection there are a few thousand different examples of whistles, mainly clay whistles in the shape of birds. In 2012 Arturas Bumšteinas visited the museum and recorded a large selection of various clay whistles there, from these recordings he later prepared various compositions and installation pieces. The first was a concert and a public-space sound installation „Gwizdały” commissioned by Varsovian curators Joanna Turek from Galeria A19 Marymont and Andrzej Załęski from Centrum Sztuki Współczesnej Ujazdowski; the second was improvised piece titled „Quiet Cue” which was premiered in Berlin's experimental music venue of the same name; the third realisation of the initial material was sound installation which took place in a public park in the city of Vilnius and was titled „Čirrrrrrrrr”; the fourth variation on the collection of whistle recordings took shape as a composition for piano and tape titled „Avis Polonus”. The fifth, current version, titled “Walk Through” is an 8-channel sound installation created specially for the TONSPUR passage in MuseumsQuartier, curated by Georg Weckwerth.
