PARTICIPATION
Sound, Noise, Echo is an improvisational performance that explores the space between quiet dynamics and stillness. Using electric guitar, amplification, micro-samplers, and live electronics, it focuses on subtle texture and restrained movement as sound resonates, then fades into the surrounding world.
The performance blends with the sounds of the environment, merging natural and human-made sounds into the composition. The natural and urban soundscapes help shape an evolving sound. Rather than existing separately, the music and the space interact, influencing and responding to one another.
Zach Andrews is a guitarist and improviser whose work integrates live electronics and environmental sound. Each project is conceived as a live performance shaped by place, with themes drawn from the immediate environment. Through the use of everyday sounds, Zach explores the tension and harmony between the natural world and human-made noise. He often incorporates stillness, silence, and reduction as counterpoints—creating space that accentuates the voices of his instruments and the surrounding sonic landscape.
