Nick Wishart (Sydney)
www.toydeath.com

Nick Wishart is a Sydney based sound artist, musician and chronic circuit bender. He creates interactive multi-media installations and circuit bent instruments that form the basis of the all toy band Toydeath. The MIDI controlled pneumatic orchestra CeLL, developed in collaboration with Miles van Dorssen, is also a big part of his life.

Nick Wishart will be performing with Toy Death on 30th August at the Sound of Failure (main event), and as part of the Sound of Re-use (group show) opening 3rd September. 

Sound of Failure 2008
The Sound of Failure is sound art festival based in Sydney, begun in 2007, that explores notions of organised and indeterminate music/sound/noise as conceived and experienced in this, our post-digital era. It is both an inclusive and critical exploration of a broad spectrum of audio experience that includes everything from experimental cabaret, to granular synthesis-derived microsound. This year, the Sound of Failure is a multi-sited event centred around the main performance night at the Factory Theatre in Enmore, which will include some big names and some exciting emerging performers.
