Life and career
Life and career
During the early 1970s Lamb studied for a PhD in neurophysiology at the University of Edinburgh. He is best known for installations of large scale Aeolian harps, such as his album Primal Image, which consists of contact microphone recordings of kilometre long spans of telegraph wire on 12 acre in rural Baldivis south of Perth purchased for that purpose. Lamb died in Perth on 19 April 2025, at the age of 81.
