Jez riley French (b. 1965)

based in East Yorkshire, Jez has been at the forefront of developments in creative field recording and approaches to the act and art of listening for many years.  Alongside performances, exhibitions, installations, he lectures and runs workshops around the world and his range of JrF specialist microphones have become widely used by recordists, sound artists, musicians and cultural organisations and have had a significant influence on the development of sound culture in recent years.

In recent years he has been working extensively on recordings of surfaces, spaces  and situations and developing the concept of photographic scores. Jrf is particularly associated with the development of extended recording techniques, including the recording of structural vibrations, contact microphone recording, ultrasonics, infrasonics, internal electronic signals and recordings made with hydrophones.

Amongst his key recent works are pieces capturing the sound of the dolomites dissolving, ants consuming fallen fruit, the Tate Modern building vibrating, the infrasound of domestic spaces around the world, glaciers melting in Iceland and the tonal resonances of natural and human objects placed in the landscape.

JrF lectures in a guest capacity at various educational institutions including RCA, Goldsmiths, Leeds Beckett, Newcastle University, Lincoln University and Hull University.
