BIO
CLINKER
GARY JAMES JOYNES is a dedicated audio and visual artist, composer/musician/vocalist,
and sound designer. 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 feature full-length documentary
“DIRT" was also composed by Clinker and was premiered at the
Vancouver DOXA Festival in May 2008. His 2007 Live Cinema performance
work "PROVODY" toured Canada and was selected to open the 8th.
MUTEK FESTIVAL in Montreal. In 2006 music composition, sound/video design
and live performance was commissioned for ISABELLE ROUSSEAU’S “BRONZE
AGE” AV Project presented at EXPANSE ‘06. A video piece for
ASMUS TEITCHENS “Teilmenge 24” was released on TJ NORRIS’s
“TRIMIX” CD/DVD compilation (INNOVA Recordings 2007).
A forthcoming full-length audio work will be released on Seattle's Dragon's
Eye Recordings in Nov/Dec 2008. A future collaboration with contemporary
dancer/choreographer Christina Medina (@tendance, Austria) is also planned
for 2009.
