"Corridor of Compliments / Korridor der Komplimente" is the audio to a sound installation commissioned for the Klangkorridor ("Sound Corridor") at Kulturhof Villach in Austria. It runs July 1st to September 14th, 2023.
An international community was asked to record voice messages containing a compliment to a stranger, or any kind of encouraging words they would like to send out into the world, just as if they were talking to a friend. How much affection, love, support and affirmation are we willing to send out if we have no idea whose ears will listen?
"Corridor of Compliments" invites anybody who passes through the corridor, which leads from the street to the café and music venue inside Kulturhof, to stop and bathe in compliments and encouragement however long they want. The piece is about half an hour long and runs in a continuous loop.

With voices by:
Abby, Alexandra, Alina, Anastasiia, Ángela, Anna-Lena, Anni, Ardamus, Bala, Christina, Christina H., Christine, David, Eiven, Erik, Eszter, Fee, Felix, Hattie, Hubert, Ida, Ilona, Ines, Jake, Janet, Jeep, Judith, Julia, Junis, Karen, Katherine, Kathleen, Katja, Kevin, Levi, Lucy, Marc, Maria, Marilyn, Mariya, Marlene, Matt, Matt H., Michaela S., Michaela T., Monika, Niki, Sara, Simone, Stephan, Sylvia, Vera, Wade, Wendy, Yan.

The Vienna based duo theclosing are the third contributors for our new mixtape series Anette Halbe Stunde. They take us on a ride through their inspirational artists that impressed and left a mark on both of them over the last couple of years. All tracks have a very serene vibe, so the mix is meant to be a soundtrack mastering all the stress in life, while ranging from ambient to intensive drum programming, simply just to trigger the inner calmness.
