Richard Neave: Sound Install

This exhibition is now closed

Sound Install [43:11]

One of Christchurch's noisiest guitarists, Richard Neave's approach to the instrument is unrestrained and spontaneous. His sounds are often intensely abrasive as he manipulates feedback and overdriven guitars onto themselves. In this piece Neave combines field recordings taken at various art gallery openings with a variety of unrelenting guitar noises, which thread and intertwine amongst the conversations of art gallery visitors. Neave has performed and recorded solo and collaboratively with the likes of Lynton Denovan, Adam Willetts, LA Lakers and Lee Noyes.

Sound Install was originally commissioned by High Street Project in autumn 2009.
