Some very beautiful Sound Art installations outside by Max Eastley on The Wire. Max Eastley seems to be interested in the Aeolian Harp, and their works are reflective of this kind of autonomous, self sustaining sound piece. Each one captivating in its own way, some of the “Kinetic Drawings” remind me of Kinetic Art pioneer Alexander Calder. Visually striking sculptures, that also create intrigue and investigation in the visitor. Its more of an active type of art to digest, as opposed to the sometimes passivity of Ambiance. In a sense, this is the right side of Ambient, where the visitor is compelled to investigate. In the same way that speakers are passive and active. So are visitors. I would like to create work that is not obvious in its intentions, so the visitor can discover it. Works like Basanta, La Monte Young, Longplayer, are these enveloping centre pieces. I think I am more concerned with the indiscernible.
