Luke Lickfold is involved in a wide range of performance projects: performing live sound art, live/pre-composed sound for theatre and dance, and work on interactive multimedia projects. Although varied in context and with a strong desire to experiment, a solid set of production values and keen attention to detail identify Lickfold's work. His residency with multi-media performance unit 66B/Cell (Tokyo) allowed him to further explore an immersive installation/performance format woven from elements of dance, visual projection, lighting, sound and custom speaker design. Lickfold was awarded a BFA in Sound Design/Music Production with Distinction from Queensland University of Technology, and also works as a DJ, producer and sound engineer.
