About...

Name
Luke Munn
A bit about

Luke Munn is a New Zealand artist with a sound and socially focused practice. His work centres around re-activating, and re-presenting real world sound: site-specific performances and projects that often use the architecture of a space, objects from the audience, field recordings of the area, or historically or socially derived audio. As former Online Curator for Window, Auckland he's curated dozens of web-based shows with international artists. His projects have been featured in the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona, Spiel Festival Austria and Ohrenhoch Berlin, with recent commissions by Aotearoa Digital Arts and Creative New Zealand. His unique performances have been given in Paris, Dublin, Berlin, Chicago, and New York, amongst others.

Simply, Sound

"They say, "you mean it's just sounds?" thinking that for something to just be a sound is to be useless, whereas I love sounds just as they are, and I have no need for them to be anything more than what they are. I don't want them to be psychological. I don't want a sound to pretend that it's a bucket or that it's president or that it's in love with another sound. Read More »

Our space, or my space

I've had a busy week working on The Big Room project, as more spaces have been listened to, recorded and sent in. Highlights of the week have to include the unusual workspace of a airplane cockpit, the steady drones and hums of a Beech 1900d, with some surprising, subtle shifts in tonality. Read More »
