Jonny Farrow is a Brooklyn-based sound-artist, composer and performer of new sound works, is co-chair of the New York Society for Acoustic Ecology, and has an M.A. in musicology. His compositions make use of instruments, field recordings and other prepared sounds. His artistic practice often centers on a concept that is explored through the recording of very specific, sometimes isolated sounds. Other times, recording itself is the critical subject for which sound objects are arranged and manipulated. In performance, he often utilizes the small sounds of objects, transforming those sounds into new, evocative soundscapes.
