John Richards explores Dirty Electronics focusing on shared experiences, social interaction and critical making. His work involves the performance of large-group electronic music and DIY electronics, which he considers as a holistic action. It is a fluid, live practice associated with the ideas of workshop-installation and performance-installation. His work pushes the boundaries between music, performance art, electronics and graphic design and is transdisciplinary as well as having a sociopolitical dimension. He has also written numerous texts on DIY practices, performance of electronic music and object-orientated and material approaches in relation to sound art. John Richards teaches in the Department of Music at the University of Nottingham, UK.
