J.Lynch is the name for some of the musical output of Johny Lamb. It exists between two outlying poles of postrock/shoegaze and experimental electronic music. It may sometimes be songlike, or it may be noise. Johny’s music will commonly involve analogue (often modular) synths, cassette tape, distortion and an interest in microtonality and field recording. Recently Johny has been working with ideas of place as they relate to Cornish folklore and neolithic site, and the application of principles of drawing to the playing of modular synth (sometimes in collaboration with dancer/choreographer Kuldip Singh-Barmi). Johny co-runs the POST- ensemble with Will Parker, an experimental music ensemble based at Falmouth University. Johny’s work as J.Lynch can be found on DAAM and Krautpop! Records. His output as Thirty Pounds of Bone can be found at Armellodie, Woodland Recordings, and Map.

Johny has worked on a number of collaborative projects and commissions including ‘The Ships Log’ as part of Lone Twin’s Boat Project for the Cultural Olympiad, and ‘Still Every Year They Went’, a collection of maritime songs recorded at sea on a commercial fishing boat with composer/phonographer Philip Reeder. He also collaborated with Jarman award winning artist/filmaker Seamus Harahan to develop a piece in response to Mercier and Camier for the first International Samuel Beckett Festival in Enniskillen and composed songs for the Cornish town of Hayle as part of the award winning ‘Hayle Churks’ oral history app.
