Trevor Wishart’s multichannel audio work “The Garden of Earthly Delights” (2021) is a darkly comic take on the human situation

Inspired by Bosch’s famous painting, Trevor Wishart’s multichannel audio work explores our contemporary situation, traversing an audio-maze of human predicaments.

Trevor Wishart is a composer/performer from the North of England specialising in sound metamorphosis, and constructing the software to make it possible. He has lived and worked as composer-in-residence in Australia, Canada, Germany, Holland, Sweden, Mexico and the USA. He creates music with his own voice, for professional groups, or in imaginary worlds conjured up in the studio and his most recent work “The Garden of Earthly Delights” (2021) is a darkly comic take on the human situation using the voices of both actors and politicians.
