On Friday 15th & Saturday 16th August 2025, Ben Rowen will make his postgraduate artistic debut at ArtBomb’25, re-presenting his final degree performance, Wind Whisper.
Wind Whisper is a participatory, improvisational performance which loops different instruments together to captivate the audience into a sonic ritual of escapism, calmness and human-nature kinship.
Adorned in headdress and costume inspired by pagan folklore, Ben invites audiences to “whisper a word" into the microphone, looping their vocal contribution into the composition. During this ritualistic process of becoming Ben’s co-composers, the audience is held in an enchanted, relaxed state. Tune out of the chaos of inner city life and into the calming rhythms of the drums, flutes, strings and chimes of a mythical past and a possible future.
