Neuhaus says the sound must be made to be "almost plausible," so that when people can't find any immediate cause, they think it comes from the subway.
Neuhaus did this without the aid of computer or electronic music, and the block of sound is built entirely from already existing resonances.
This is interesting because Neuhaus himself does not create a visual component to his installation; he hides the machinery that allows us to hear the block of sound underground.

 Media Art Net | Neuhaus, Max: Biography   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Neuhaus devises his sound installations for a specific space and derives his creative principles from these parameters: firstly from acoustic and other structural properties, and then from his clients' typical modes of use.
Neuhaus was one of the first to realize a number of installations in particular public venues, addressing their acoustic quality not just artistically but also as a 20th century design problem.
Thus for example he suggested a siren technology for US police vehicles that was safer because it could be located more precisely, and developed an alarm clock that wakes sleeping people with silence—achieving that with a tone that slowly increases in volume and then breaks off abruptly at the wake-up time.

 Media Art Net | Neuhaus, Max: Drive In Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Max Neuhaus was one of the first, with his «Drive-In Music,» 1967–68, to develop the idea of a ‹music› for a public space that is tonally complex but does not force itself upon passers-by.
Neuhaus installed 20 low-powered radio transmitters in the trees along a stretch of just under 600 metres on a broad avenue, Lincoln Parkway in Buffalo, New York.
In fact Neuhaus did not just work with the synthetic sounds generated by his equipment for his installations in public spaces, but also used them as a counterpoint for the random noises produced in a particular place, placing them in an aesthetic context by setting them alongside sound with tonal quality.

 Art in America: Max Neuhaus at Christine Burgin and P.S. 1
As a boy, Max Neuhaus determined to become "the best drummer in the world." He performed at Carnegie Hall as a solo percussionist in his early 20s.
In Networks, Neuhaus considers music-making as a dialogue in sound, illustrated by a drawing for a 1977 project that used the medium of the airwaves during a National Public Radio live broadcast.
Early on, Neuhaus had applauded the introduction of common sound to the concert hall in the works of Varese and Cage that he himself once performed, but he questioned the effectiveness of the method of insertion.

 Browse by Artist: NEUHAUS, MAX
In 1963, while exploring ways of changing the timbre of percussion instruments through amplification, Neuhaus discovered a means of generating sound: the creation of an acoustic feedback loop with a percussion instrument inserted inside it.
Neuhaus quickly realized that the only way to do it, in fact, was to think of all them together as just one instrument, one multi-surfaced bank of timbre.
This would be considered one of the first "live electronic music" albums and the front cover photo of a bare-chested Neuhaus in front of this percussion kit is one of the unforgettable images of the avant-garde.

Although Max Neuhaus was well-known in the 1960s as an experimental percussionist, he went on to pioneer artistic activities outside conventional cultural contexts and began to realize sound works anonymously in public places, developing art forms of his own.
Because it is outside, because it is so seamlessly integrated into the sounds of the city, of the neighborhood, one wonders where the sound is coming from.
It is the same when attempting to describe Neuhaus' work, to put into words this experience which affects so many of our senses.

For a while in New York City, just south of 46th Street, between 7th Avenue and Broadway, under the metal grate of a triangular traffic island, in the middle of Times Square, constant traffic, pedestrians and general city din, a continuously sounding rich organ-like harmony eminated out from under the ground.

Stockhausen’s 1959 score allows the individual performer a lot of interpretive space and Neuhaus makes the most of it, drawing deep on his jazz background and launching himself headfirst into the piece, making improvisatory decisions as he goes.
Neuhaus developed a special 360¾ percussion frame in order to link all 21 percussion instruments the piece requires and to facilitate the kind of intuitive, split-second responses needed to navigate it.
There are three takes on Earle Brown’s “Four Systems – For Four Amplified Cymbals” from 1964-68, with Neuhaus tearing slow serrated tones from suspended percussion by bowing them with ridged metal rods.

This is one of three separate shards of electronic music history (Ashley, Neuhaus, and Palestine) recently unearthed by Italian audio archaeologists Alga Marghen.
Max Neuhaus' "Fontana Mix-Feed" features six "realizations" of an indeterminate John Cage score, in Neuhaus' hands an electro-acoustic feedback concerto created with timpani, contact microphones, amplifiers, and a mixer.
Like the Ashley's "Wolfman", this Neuhaus disc is cool when you consider that context: as depicted on the cover, a nerdish young Neuhaus in suit and tie, on stage at Carnegie Hall causing audience discomfort and pain with his knob twisting!

 Max Neuhaus: Times Square - New York, NY, - Citysearch
Anyone who happens onto the small pedestrian island on Broadway between 45th and 46th streets is more likely to be searching for the TKTS booth than listening to the eerie chords that emanate from a subway grate--if they can discern these subtle sounds in the first place.
The piece had an earlier run, from 1977 to 1992 at which point maintenance problems led Neuhaus to disassemble it.
The Dia Center took note, however, and in May 2002 reintroduced it as part of a permanent-installation repertoire that includes Walter de Maria's "Earth Room" and "Broken Kilometer." It will be interesting to see how Neuhaus' avant-garde soundscape fares, on the second go-round, in a Disneyfied Times Square.

 * Dusted Reviews - Max Neuhaus *
Max Neuhaus began his music career as a virtuoso percussionist and performer of ‘new music.' He later became one of the guiding lights of the art form he termed ‘sound installation,' or the embedding of sound in a fixed space.
Neuhaus’ composition, subtitled Feed, attaches contact microphones to the heads of percussion instruments, which pick up the sound of the room.
This signal is then amplified and pushed through speakers that face the percussion instruments, causing both the instruments and microphones to vibrate and move.

Harsh noise in the concert hall; one can only imagine the impact of Max Neuhaus' realization of John Cage's open score "Fontana Mix" back in 1965-1966.
An overtaking slab of not-quite-controlled feedback, his piece (subtitled "Feed") consisted of a set of parameters determined through the chance operations prescribed by Cage's score.
Neuhaus sits at a mixing desk, controlling the potentiometers of four channels of feedback, changing them according to his realization of the score.

 Art in America: Subtle sounds in Times Square - Front Page - Max Neuhaus sound-art piece - Brief Article
In late May, a sound-art piece by Max Neuhaus was reinstalled in Times Square, a seemingly odd location for a work whose subtle tones are easy to miss in the constant bustle and din of traffic.
Sited under a subway ventilation grate at the northern end of a pedestrian island on Broadway between 45th and 46th Streets, the work, called Times Square, emits various sustained notes--like the lingering tones of ringing bells--using sound generators and a loudspeaker.
The work was initially installed at the site in 1977 and remained until 1992, when Neuhaus dismantled it because of difficulty in maintaining the piece after he moved abroad.
