About Nigel Wright from Auckland
Nigel Wright has been creating audio for over 5 years and is known for his spacious, expansive sound pieces. Dense layers of tonal drones underpin the field recordings, guitar, and tape loops that Wright uses as source material for his laptop-based live performances. Wright has recently started investigating audio/visual pieces with his first work premiering at the 2006 Auckland International Film Festival. “Wright works with big, weighty chunks of sound… He uses laptop to weather and rust his guitars strings, ricocheting hefty down-strummed chords through cavernous banks of effects and then watching the overtones drift in the distance, like trailing headlights captured on polaroids.” (Jon Dale – The Wire October 2006)
