His work as a synthesist began with projects such as \u0022The Last Gasp Ensemble\u0022 and the electronic trio \u0022ENVLP\u0022. His involvement in this area of acoustic art evolved into larger scale pieces such as \u0022The Mechanical Guitar Orchestra\u0022, a robotic ensemble designed for installation and performance consisting of automated electric guitar sculptures. Subsequently, he composed a series of radio works in Europe, (\u0022Kunstradio-Radiokunst\u0022, \u0022Bilder Im Kopf\u0022 - ORF) and exhibited sound installations designed for public spaces involving passage such as stairwells, elevators, subway stations and hallways. In his solo installations (\u0022Ecotype Transmissions\u0022) he incorporates reanimated spatial events with live mechanical events such as motorized transducer fields. Ed Tomney is also a member of the analog synthesis collective \u0022Analogos\u0022 which performs regularly at Diapason Gallery.","offset":0,"nextOffset":null,"totalCharacters":916,"complete":true},"rightsUrl":"https://www.videohistoryproject.org/terms-service"}
