Neil Balser
Experimental Sound Design in New York
Listen to the sounds around you.
The traffic, sirens, people walking, the wind, the city booming, a bird...
All these sounds we hear effect us and set an atmosphere or dynamic, whether its soothing, uncomfortable, surprising or rhythmic. Arranged in music they give us the deepest of emotion.
The intuitive feeling we have for daily sounds and the focus we have while actively listening is what fascinates me.
Unusual, repetitive or very close sounds, immediately grab our attention.
As an experimental sound designer I compose soundtracks.
I mix instruments and digital sounds with daily sounds and arrange them accordingly to conceptual ideas of artists. I take the content of a fashion designer or art director and add value to it in the form of sound.
My music is a disruptive genre. Disturbing and conceptual, harmonious and intuitive.
