The language of Yiddish, spoken by the Jewish people of Europe was then a vibrant part of the sound world in Lithuania. Reflecting on disappearance of this sound and the meaning it carried, Philip Miller creates sound interventions in the specific Kaunas sites where Jews once lived.<\/p>\n<p>He has recorded the old ghetto song A Jewish Child \u2013 A Yiddish Kind, sung by the Lithuanian-born actress Bella Shirin and the Israeli singer Maya Pennington, and transformed it with spoken interjections of Yiddish aphorisms. These colloquial phrases speak about remembering and forgetting, talking and being silent.<\/p>\n<p>The disembodied, ghostly voices that make up these sound works emphasize the impossibility of restoring the original \u201clife\u201d of a language.<\/p>\n<p>Philip Miller<br \/>\n\u201cIkh vil nit visn \u2013 Nenoriu \u017einoti \u2013 I don\u2019t want to know.\u201d. 2017<br \/>\nSound installation.
