Max Eastley (born 1 December 1944, Torquay, Devon) is a sound and visual artist. He is part of the Cape Farewell Climate Change project. He studied painting and graphic art at Newton Abbot Art School and then went on to gain a BA in Fine Art (1969–1972) at Middlesex University (formerly Hornsey School of Art). He is a sculptor (kinetic), musician and composer. His primary instrument is a unique electro-acoustic monochord, developed from an aeolian sculpture. 'The Arc' consists of a single string stretched lengthwise across a long piece of wood (around ten feet) which can be played with a bow, fingers or short glass rods. The end of the instrument has a microphone attached so the basic sound can be amplified, recorded and run through sound effect programs.
Eastley has collaborated with many different artists and musicians on performances, installations and recordings including: David Toop , Brian Eno, Paul Burwell, Victor gama, Hugh Davies, Steve Beresford, Peter Greenaway, Dave Hunt, David Buckland, Evan Parker, Peter Cusak. From 2001-2002, Eastley was a visiting fellow at John Moores University Liverpool and is currently (2010 onwards) an AHRC research fellow at Oxford Brookes University researching Aeolian phenomena. On the 17th May 1989, Eastley was awarded a prize in the 'Learning Spaces Category' of the working in the City European Communities Architectural Ideas Competition (University College Dublin).
AérechO "Dryas", site-specific interactive installation-performance - PuppetFair Festival 2014, Sofia, Bulgaria
AérechO "Dryas"
An innovative interactive installation-performance
which combines street arts with cutting edge music technology
In collaboration with the Contemporary Music Research Center (Crmc-KSYME)
"Dryas" is inspired by Baba Marta, an old tradition still followed in Bulgaria, Romania and elsewhere in the Balkans: each spring, trees receive red and white ornaments and offers in order to ensure health and happiness for the year to come.
The audience is encouraged to actively communicate with Dryas and her tree: people can offer her red ribbons and make a wish, tell her a secret, write her a message or make her a drawing and thus form their own ritual in relation with the performer.
Dryas responds to the audience through her song and movement, accompanied by "magical" sounds and music.
The performer’s voice is captured and processed in real time and is simultaneously accompanied by live electronics performed by the two musicians/composers. The sound material also incorporates sounds stemming from the audience and the environment.
In this manner, the spectators not only witness and co-create the performance, but they also contribute to a unique live composition, with the performers and audience being transformed into musical instruments.
"Dryas" received the Award for Individual Street Performance by the 4th International Athens Street Festival-IstFest 2012 (Athens, Greece).
"Dryas" has received an official invitation for PuppetFair Festival Sofia 2014.
