Whistlegraph eng. ˈ(h)wis(ə)lgraf) dut. Fluitegrafiek (FLAUTAGHAFEEK) is a Dutch American multimedia performance trio. They are renowned for their unique concept of blending illustration with music, an art form, which they call the Whistlegraph.[1] "Whistlegraph" is also, the name that the trio goes by. They are best known for their "comforting, yet creepy" videos on the social media platform TikTok, and have amassed a following of 2.7 million. They have also performed at major art galleries in the USA, such as the performance titled The Longest Whistlegraph Ever (so far) at the New Museum in New York City. [2] They have also toured other countries, notably their performances in the Netherlands and Denmark.[3] The group is comprised of 3 artists, Alex Freundlich, Camille Klein, and Jeffrey Alan Scudder.[4]
The trio formed in in 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic, when Alex, Camille, and Jeffrey, banded together in a cabin in Ashland, Oregon,[5] They began posting videos on TikTok, which slowly built up a following on their platform. On October 4th, 2022, their account was banned for violating TikTok community guidelines, after posting a presumed Halloween special video of Alex and Camille performing a Whistlegraph with blood on their hands and workspace, and following videos implying that Jeffrey was being held hostage by the group, or was in danger.[4] The account had other community guidelines violations due to other videos of this nature, which were removed. On october 26, shortly after the ban, the account was restored after a Change.org petition was created by a fan, receiving 21 signatures.
Whistlegraph (Concept)
The self-titled art concept created by the Whistlegraph trio, is a concept of combining drawing, singing, and poetry. a Whistlegraph consists of a minimal line drawn image, which is drawn while singing. Each line in the image is drawn while singing a line of the song that corresponds to it. Each Whistlegraph contains the same song and image, which are drawn and sung in the same manner each time.[4] The trio has also created graphic scores, for others to learn and perform Whistlegraphs.[2] Videos of these performances are available on their TikTok account, and YouTube channel.
