{{Short description|British visual and sound artist}} '''Max Eastley''' (born 1 December 1944, Torquay, Devon, England) is a British visual and sound artist. He is part of the Cape Farewell Climate Change project. He studied painting and graphic art at Newton Abbot Art School and then went on to gain a BA in Fine Art (1969–1972) at Middlesex University (formerly Hornsey School of Art). He is a sculptor (kinetic), musician and composer. His primary instrument is a unique electro-acoustic monochord, developed from an aeolian sculpture. 'The Arc' consists of a single string stretched lengthwise across a long piece of wood (around ten feet) which can be played with a bow, fingers or short glass rods.<ref name="arc description">{{Cite web|url=http://www.eyelessingaza.com/mbinteastley.html|title=Max Eastley: Images of Sound|website=Eyelessingaza.com|accessdate=2020-03-26}}</ref> The end of the instrument has a microphone attached so the basic sound can be amplified, recorded and run through sound effect programs.
