900 Voices was created by Zoë Irvine with Lindsay Perth and Jules Rawlinson.
What you hear here is created entirely from voice.
The work was originally created as part of the 900th anniversary celebrations of St Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh. It was created as a participative project involving people all over Edinburgh recording conversations on belonging and community. The hundreds of hours of recordings were presented as an installation in St Giles', activating the architecture, resounding with the thoughts, feelings and melodies of these conversations.
The installation used a bespoke computer programme to shuffle, combine and explore what people said in different ways. Over the many hours it was live, it always served up completely new combinations.
It was presented as part of the Edinburgh International Festival in 2024. In 2025 Zoë and Jules are creating a radio version which will first broadcast on Radiophrenia in April.
