Walter Funk performs with Kwisp, Fifty Foot Hose, and Mandible Chatter. His Hologlyphics are True 3D movies, combing elements of music, holography, video-synthesis, visionary film, electronic music, sculpture and improvisation to create a unique new artform. Walter and CWRK Musical Enviornments, created a Hong Kong sound installation and sculpture with motion sensors that trigger sounds that are random yet associated with time of the day. Walter studied music and psychoacoustics at the Center for New Music and Audio Technology, UC Berkeley (CNMAT) and holography at The Holography Institute and has recorded over twenty albums to date.
