The Fine Art of Whistling

While many people enjoy whistling as a pastime, achieving a professional, record-ready sound with stability and consistency across all keys and ranges is a rare and challenging skill – truly an art form. To celebrate this mastery, we invited an art whistler to our Silent Stage. This relatively dry recording room provided the ideal backdrop, allowing his smooth and consistent timbre to unfold beautifully. Whistling is incredibly versatile and has added the perfect finishing touch to countless iconic melodies that have resonated with listeners worldwide. Whether you’re scoring the main theme of your neo-spaghetti western or always look on the bright side of life, this collection is here to whistle right along with you.

Meet the Vienna Whistler: the truly fascinating sounds in this collection were performed by our very own Marcus Schmidinger, an acclaimed horn player who is also a gifted art whistler. During the recordings for various horn and brass libraries, we discovered his talent and his incredibly homogenous timbre over a wide key range of approximately two octaves. As an aside, so-called “art whistlers” echo an Austrian tradition of the 19th century when they would perform in Viennese community theatres, vaudeville shows and cabarets.
