Between The Ears

In 2007 sound artist John Wynne was artist-in-residence for one year at Harefield Hospital in Middlesex, one of the world's leading centres for heart and lung transplantation. He worked with patients to capture their experiences, recording the sonic environment of the hospital itself and, with the help of medical techinicians, recorded devices such as VADs (Ventricular Assist Devices) both internally and externally.

John Wynne uses these recordings as compositional elements, revealing a world in which aural objects shift and surprise and where the listener is invited to explore deep within sound itself.
