Jim Haynes

Jim Haynes flawlessly conjures the sounds of magnets, motors, and raw electricity in his heavy industrial noise compositions that are simultaneously austere and evocative. Rust, both as a methodology and a philosophy, explicitly permeate his sound and visual works. In this interview, Jim discusses his recent work, shares stories of his involvement in the San Fransisco sound art world, details on how he does what he does, and touches on the ultimately very human essence of his work.
