Wax Sound Media
Profile
Sonia Leber and David Chesworth are the award-winning artists behind Wax Sound Media creating immersive soundscapes for museums, galleries, public spaces and historic sites. Established as an arts practice, we develop new possibilities for the creative use of sound in cross-disciplinary environments. We create soundscapes as artistic, multi-level, interpretive works, often working in conjunction with curators, designers and architects to develop a set of unique soundscapes for each project. We have specialist expertise in concept design, multi-channel composition and programming of centrally controlled soundscapes which change over time. We regularly create highly skilled sound designs for multimedia and interactives throughout the exhibition.
