About Joseph Harmsworth


I’m not really sure what my art practice is but is probably best summed up in a list of words: DIY and post-punk; home-made electronics; code and programming (JavaScript, SuperCollider, Max/MSP, Arduino); story-writing, cartoons and zines; folk music; queer theory and feminism; improvisation, memory and imagination; being an obsessive fan ofthings. All ofthese often happen at the same time. I think of myself as primarily a punk guitarist and folk musician who also happens to write code and draw cartoons.

My Creative Practice Mmus focussed on audio-visual composition, digital installation art using Max/MSP and, later, web-based development under the polynym New Keys.
