John Wynne has a PhD in sound art from Goldsmiths College, University of London. He was artist-in-residence at Harefield Hospital, one of the world’s leading heart and lung transplant centres – a project with outcomes including pieces for BBC Radio 3 and for CBC (Canada) and, in collaboration with Tim Wainwright, a surround-sound video shown at TATE Britain and a 24-channel photographic sound installation (London, 2008). His work with endangered click-languages resulted in an award-winning ‘composed documentary’ for BBC radio and an installation shown in Botswana, Namibia and London. He has created large-scale sound installations in public squares using alarm sounds of his own design: one was banned by the City of Copenhagen for allegedly “frightening and confusing the public” whereas Response Time in Toronto’s Metro Square was described as “an ambient, ghost-like presence”. He has created installations from hundreds of discarded but working hi-fi speakers: Fallender ton für 207 lautsprecher boxen in Berlin “sounded like Heaven …and Hell”. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/John+Wynne">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
