Max Neuhaus

Place

Communion with sound has always been bound by time. Meaning in speech and music appears only as their sound events unfold word by word, phrase by phrase, from moment to moment.

My Place works share a different fundamental idea – that of removing sound from time and setting it, instead, in place.
