A Whisper in the Noise is a musical project of rock composer West Thordson. Centered in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Twin Cities metro, the group is known for their dark sound and unique instrumentation, as well as their effective live performances. Eschewing the more traditional use of guitar or heavy keyboards that might be associated with the band's umbral sound, the instrumentation of A Whisper in the Noise has included the cello, violin, French horn, synth/electronic keyboard, bass guitar, and percussion in some variation. The resulting minimalist expression, the unique arrangement of instruments, and the inclusion of visual media elements during live performance has seen the band described as "art rock."The band has occasionally performed without the French horn or cello, though these instruments are used heavily on the live recording of their first album, Through the Ides of March.

  • Gli A whisper in the noise sono una band indie statunitense. Il gruppo, originario di Hanska, Minnesota, è nato nel 2002 per iniziativa di West Thordson, versatile compositore e autore del progetto. Il risultato, grazie alla particolare formazione strumentale, è un rock orchestrale d'avanguardia estremamente atmosferico, che trova il suo tratto distintivo nell'alternanza di tracce malinconiche e dark. La produzione del loro album d'esordio è stata curata dal guru della scena alternativa statunitense Steve Albini. (it)
