Fast Forward
Fast Forward is a New York based english composer and performer who makes music with almost anything. In his solo performances, he adopts a sculptural approach to creating sound. He examines the sensual, tactile qualities of the objects, then ties the sound of the objects to the physical gesture that creates the sound. The result is a stage presence that integrates the visual element of the performance with the music.
