Eastley combines kinetic sound
sculpture and music in a unique art form.
He has exhibited his sound installations
internationally, and collaborated with
artists, musicians and film-makers
including Brian Eno, David Toop and
Peter Greenaway.
His installations have
been included in Sonic Boom at the
Hayward Gallery, London, Sound as
Media, Tokyo, and more recently in Riga,
Latvia, in collaboration with sound
engineer Dave Hunt.
"I lowered a hydrophone
into the water.
The sound was a
bewildering mass of millions
of moments, like a vast
waterfall. On the surface
sounds like gunshots
echoed from the glacier.
At
one point in our three-hour
visit an estimated 40,000-
tonne piece of ice fell into
the sea with a cavernous,
terrifying roar like a great
beast. I felt that all these
sounds were latent in the
ice for thousand of years,
bursting into the air or
our time, coming to us
from a vast distance."
