Practice

Sonia Leber and David Chesworth are the artists behind Wax Sound Media creating unique sound and multimedia installations for a diverse range of arts and cultural contexts including museums, galleries and public sites.

We develop new possibilities for the creative use of sound in cross-disciplinary environments, often working in conjunction with curators, designers and architects to develop a unique soundscape for each project.

We have specialist expertise in creating centrally controlled soundscapes for both outdoor and indoor sites that change over time, with different aspects falling into focus at different times.

Passersby might be plunged into a field of sighs, grunts and groans (5000 Calls); be cajoled or harassed by unseen masters (The Master's Voice) or find themselves beckoned by female voices rising from below (The Gordon Assumption).

Leber and Chesworth were awarded a solo exhibition at Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (Almost Always Everywhere Apparent) and their work has been exhibited the UK, the USA and Europe.
