Work: Immaterial Matter & Signals from Unknown Sources
Bio: Rachel Shearer has a long history of working with a range of sound practices, dating back to releases on the South Island based Xpressway label in the late 1980’s. She has actively participated in a culture of composing and performing experimental music. Since then she has investigated sound as a medium through the recording and live performance of original compositions, sound design for moving image, sound installation and practise-led academic study. Recent works include a permanent 9 channel public sound installation on Auckland’s waterfront, The Wynyard Quarter. Rachel lectures part-time at Elam School of Fine Arts and in Creative Technologies at AUT, while researching Sound Installation Practice for her PhD.
