Chris Speed
Artist Bio
Chris Speed (CSV) is an audiovisual artist, DJ and academic. CSV began solely as a digital artist but his musical output gradually developed over the years. His dark underground sound comes from teens spent immersed in the sounds of dingy East London club nights. Drawing on a myriad of influences including Grime, Garage, Jungle and other extensions of the Hardcore Continuum, CSV also utilises a combination of hardware synthesisers and algorithmic tools, making for boundary-pushing results.
His graphical aesthetic uses similar computational approaches to the music, consistent across 3D artworks, music videos, live visuals and virtual environments.
Equally at home creating immersive installations for gallery spaces as mixing rhythms on the dancefloor, CSV has worked with a variety of organisations and artist collectives.
