Chatter 'o' Scope is an oversized wind instrument, crafted from reclaimed metal components, inviting visitors to speak, sing, hum, or whisper into its bell. Every voice is transformed into an evolving dialogue of sound and light: an altered echo returns through the sculpture while shifting geometric figures bloom across the wall, revealing the hidden geometry of sound.By making the invisible visible, Chatter ’o’ Scope encourages people to rediscover their voice in public space, transforming a simple act of expression into a shared experience of curiosity, play, and connection.

Igor is a composer and mixing and mastering engineer based in Montreal. He is a member of Audiotopie, a sound creation cooperative dedicated to public and museum spaces, where he develops sound dramaturgy: the way sound can carry a narrative and transform the perception of a place. This same question runs through his personal practice, from electroacoustic composition to the dance music he creates under the name Kizi 404. He composes by blending the familiar with the unfamiliar, allowing surprise to spark curiosity while never compromising the pleasure of listening.
