David Cunningham is a record producer and musician who has worked with with an eclectic range of people and music which has included The Flying Lizards, Palais Schaumburg and Michael Nyman amongst many others. His installation works in art galleries magnify the sound of a room, a music delineated by the architectural characteristics of the space and modulated by the transient nature of people passing through. David Cunningham will play guitar live with a selection of animal sounds. The guitar is treated through a delay system which allows notes played to recycle infinitely, overlapping in different rhythms. Chronological rather than metronome time. The intention is to create a parallel structure alongside the aural ecologies taher than simply an exotic decoration. All the guitar sounds are originated live in the performance, the only pre-recorded material will be Grrr Jamming Squeak multispecies sound library.
