Clinker (born Gary James Joynes) is a Canadian sound artist, composer, and visual artist from Edmonton, Alberta.[1]
Joynes played as a bassist in prog rock bands before discovering an interest in ambient music. Brian Eno was an early influence.[2] Recent work includes the live cinema piece On the Other Side... (for L. Cohen), commissioned by the 2008 Leonard Cohen International Festival in Edmonton, Alberta[3][4] as well as the soundtrack for the documentary Dirt.[5][6]
In 2011 he was a resident artist at Latitude 53 where his work Frequency Painting: 12 Tones was exhibited.[7]
