Christopher Janney was trained as an architect (Princeton University , B.A. Architecture, 1972, magna cum laude/ MIT -M.S. Environmental Art, 1978) and a jazz musician (private studies, 1963-1976, Dalcroze School, 1974-75). He has created numerous permanent interactive sound/light installations, attempting, on the one hand, to make architecture more “spontaneous” (Harmonic Runway, Miami Airport; REACH:NY, 34th St. subway, New York) and, on the other hand, to make music more physical (HeartBeat:mb with S. Rudner, M. Baryshnikov). Projects include the interactive sculptural scoreboard for the Miami Arena, in Miami, FL; Rainbow Cove at Logan Airport, Boston, MA, A House is a Musical Instrument: Kona, an 8000 square foot private residence in Kona, HI based on Hawaiian cosmological principles, Harmonic Convergnce, an interactive sound/light environment in the Miami International Airport; Harmonic Fugue for Hendrix College in Conway, Arkansas; and five US/UK tours of Sonic Forest to major music festivals including “Bonnaroo,” “Coachella,” “Wireless,” “Electric Daisy Carnival” and “Glastonbury.” Projects recently completed include “Sonic Fireflies” for the new REVEL resort in Atlantic City, NJ; “Light Waves: Atlanta” for the Atlanta International Airport and a special-feature screening of “What Is A Heart?” at Art Basil Miami, a film on Janney’s HeartBeat project with an opening live set by The Persuasions. Believing also that architecture is about a manifestation of the “public spirit”, he has been a Visiting Professor at Cooper Union’s Irwin Chanin School of Architecture and Pratt Institute where he taught his seminar “Sound As A Visual Medium.” Believing that there is more to creating a dynamically-built environment than erecting buildings, he has directed his own multi-media studio, PhenomenArts, Inc. since 1980. PhenomenArts, Inc. has studios in both Lexington, MA and London, UK. A book on Christopher Janney, titled “Architecture of the Air”, was published in 2006 and is available through Amazon.com and Janney’s website.
