Rhale*) is a sound art project that was founded in 2001. It is mostly on sounds revolving round pneuma**) - the human breath.

The rhale project is open for collaboration, most preferably with people working outside the cultural scenes. If you have a proposal that you would like to present, click here.

In 2002, the rhale project participated in the French audio project Collective Jukebox 4.0 at Mamco, Geneva and Collective Jukebox 4.02 at KunstlerHaus Bremen, 2003. A current project (a work in progress) is the completion of the concept album, Traumata. Other current Rhale projects will be announced continually at this page and in the News section.

*) The word is originally spelled without an ‘h’ (rale). It denotes a rattling sound in the lungs (cp. Lat. rasum: to scrape and Eng.: rattle: to make a quick, sharp noise). The additional ‘h’ in the word (my spelling) denotes the way of exhalation, i.e. to emit, as vapor or effluvia.

**) Pneuma (Greek) originally means both air and spirit. Today’s use of the word is most common within medicine (respiration) and physics (elastic fluids).
