"Audio conceptualist Norman Fairbanks was born in LA at a time when it became an ordinary thing that people would begin to utilize synthesizer of inacceptable size and weight in order to create music. His work is focused on the sociological and philosophical state description of American society through a targeted symbolic combination of typical American speech and noise elements with sounds.
Norman Fairbanks is a unique audio concept art project with the mission to freely melt and combine themes from the great American panopticon of modern media with selected environmental, acoustic or synthetic sound, in order to create an unbiasedly, non-contextual neo-expressionnist audio witness and reflection of contemporary American culture. Norman Fairbanks is a fictitious character" (source normanfairbanks.com)
