BIOGRAPHY
GARY
JAMES JOYNES is a sound artist, composer and visual artist from Edmonton,
Canada. He is fascinated by the sources of electronic composition
and the ever-evolving language of technology; objects and mechanisms
stimulate his process. As CLINKER, his work explores meditative spaces
and the kinesthetic and synesthetic effects of sound and visuals.
Recent work includes "On the Other Side..." a Live Cinema
piece commissioned by the 2008 INTERNATIONAL LEONARD COHEN FESTIVAL.
A film score for the NATIONAL FILM BOARD OF CANADA'S award winning
feature documentary “DIRT" was composed by Clinker and
premiered at the Vancouver DOXA Festival in May 2008. His 2007 Live
Cinema performance work "Provody" was selected to open the
MUTEK FESTIVAL 8TH. EDITION in Montreal.
CLINKER'S latest audio work entitled "On the Other Side... (for
L.Cohen)" was released to critical acclaim on the Los Angeles
Sound Art Label DRAGON'S EYE RECORDINGS in January of 2009. Through
the Fall/Winter of 2009 Clinker was an artist in residence at the
BANFF CENTER OF THE ARTS (BNMI) advancing new ideas in sound visualizations
for future audio-visual sculptural installations.
Recent performances include ROULETTE
MIXOLOGY FESTIVAL (New York), HIGH PERFORMANCE
RODEO 2010 (Calgary), (((SOUNDWAVE))) (Vancouver Island), MUTEK_10
(Montreal), MUTEK_10 TOUR (Edmonton), EMMEDIA SONIC BOOM 2009 (Calgary),
BANFF CENTRE - BNMI INTERACTIVE SCREEN (2008 & 2007 editions)
and the 2008 LEONARD COHEN INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL.
The last few years have seen Clinker’s work performed and exhibited
in Canada and abroad in festivals including TANZSTARTKLAR FESTIVAL
2008 (Graz, Austria), NEW FORMS FESTIVAL 2007 & 2003 (Vancouver),
SPRAWL - INTERPLAY_4 FESTIVAL 2007 (Amsterdam, Dublin, London, Bristol),
SEA OF SOUND FESTIVAL 2005 (The Works - Edmonton), MUTEK Le PLACARD
FESTIVAL 2005 (Montreal), STANDART 2003 (Madrid, Spain). In May 2003
CLINKER made his premiere outside his native Alberta at the 2003 MUTEK
Festival.
