Chris Speed Visuals (CSV) is a London based audiovisual artist, DJ and educator exploring realtime technologies to breaking point. His dark underground sound comes from teens spent immersed in dingy East London club nights. Drawing on a myriad of influences including Grime, UK Garage, Dubstep and other extensions of the Hardcore Continuum, CSV also utilises a combination of hardware synthesisers and custom algorithmic tools, making for boundary-pushing results.
He has released music on forward thinking imprints / publications such as SYNES, The Games We Play, SeekSickSound, Club Late Music and Insert. His last self released EP ‘Synthesia’ was heavily featured in Beatport’s Best New 140 Dubstep playlist and has received airplay on Loraine James NTS Show, Oblig on Rinse FM and Machine Woman on BBC Radio 6.
Both his sonic and graphical aesthetic uses digital processes consistent across 3D artworks, music videos, live visuals and immersive installations. CSV has collaborated with a variety of art organisations and research collectives. Chris also teaches sound design / game programming at the Point Blank Music School and University of Greenwich.
