“The 3rd Resistance was a electroacoustic installation project, run by Christchurch-based DJ, sonic artist, and rave veteran, Simon Kong, which operated within the context of the the outdoor rave scene of New Zealand’s South Island. The project sought to subvert the normative functioning of the rave environment and to explore the expanded soundscape of the rave. Writing Around Sound talked to Simon about this project, as well as his involvement with the experimental music scene in New Zealand and his sonic arts installation practice.”
