Cusack, Peter -& Max Eastley-
Day For Night
Over the last 25 years Cusack and Eastley have been gradually adding episodes to the collection of compositions that
make up this CD. The foundation of this work consists of location recordings layered with the live or recycled sounds of
Eastley's kinetic sculpture. Over the same period that this CD evolved Cusack helped with setting up the LMC, worked for
2 years at Studio Steim in Holland, co-founded Bead Records and released several LP's on this label. His long term
musical collaborators have included: Clive Bell, Nic Collins and Viv Corringham, as well as the group Alterations (with
Steve Beresford, Terry Day and David Toop). Recent CD's are available on Platelunch, ReR and Resonance. He also
frequently works with artists in other fields, including most recently in September 2000, "The Week of Small Miracles",
a large scale outdoor project in the Lea Valley area of East London which he curated. Meanwhile Eastley's last 25 years
have been spent more in the art gallery than the concert hall, with exhibitions in the UK at The Serpentine Gallery
(1976) and The Arnolfini (1980). Overseas installations include The Apollohuis in Holland (1984), the Museum Of Modern
Art, Nagoya, Japan and Xebec Hall, Kobe, Japan (both 1994). His most recent exhibits were seen this year as part of
Sonic Boom at the Hayward Art Gallery in London. He has also been involved in musical performance, especially the
Whirled Music project in the 80s and also ongoing collaborations with David Toop and occasional work with Thomas Köner.
He has recorded for many labels including Incus, Quartz and most memorably his 2 releases with David Toop (New and
Rediscovered Instruments, originally on Obscure, 1975, and Buried Dreams, on Beyond, 1994). Eastley's work is concerned
with creating delicate and elegant kinetic sound devices, either motor driven or animated by environmental forces like
the wind, streams or the sea.
