Noel Meek is a Wellington-based sound artist, who will be presenting a new drone project that recently debuted at Puppies in Wellington. Meek builds drones on samplers using live recorded samples of acoustic and electric instruments with minimal digital manipulation or effects, but using non-traditional tunings and notes pitch shifted by microtonal intervals to build layers of overtones: https://soundcloud.com/noelmeek/the-working-man-is-king-in-his-own-home
