Charlie Morrow is a New York based sound artist and sound poet whose work spans the 1950's to the present. He is best known as a creator and producer for large-scale networked performances like International Solstice celebrations, and as a designer, director and composer of city-sized events with thousands of performers and various vehicles from boats and horses to helicopters and ships (e.g. Citywave Copenhagen and Toot'n Blink Chicago). In his performances Charlie Morrow has acted as designer as well as curator, for he has always commissioned for them works from other artists.
Since the 1990's Morrow has focused on sound installations for museums (such as Smithsonian Institution, American Museum of Natural History, Brooklyn Museum of Art) and travel attractions (such as Kennedy Space Center, Empire State Building).
3D sound is his current, overruling passion.
