Ding-a-ling-ling, fly away. My sound keeps evil spirits at bay.

A podcast about Whose Museum

For this Whose Museum podcast, artist Rasmus Raphaëlle Östebro has created a sound journey, "Ding-a-ling-ling, fly away. My sound keeps evil spirits at bay". For the ultimate experience, we highly recommend you to close your eyes and wear headphones while listening. Among the various tools and instruments used when calling this audio-based dimension into existence, a pair of bell-embellished reindeer antlers play a central role in creating the soundscape. The bells manifest as a sculptural piece in our exhibition, while still carrying the energy of a tool for shamanic practice. In many shamanic traditions, bells are used for healing, invoking spirits and to summon the spirit of sacred sites. Bells are also used to remove negative energy and unwanted intrusions, by creating a vibrational gateway to the other worlds through resonance.
