Walley Films presents multimedia artist Justin Boyd, a faculty member of the Sculpture and Integrated Media department at Southwest School of Art in San Antonio, Texas, shares his connection with sound and how he uses it to create original works of art.

Inspired by his sensitivity to sound was developed at a very young age, Boyd has been recording and working with sound and music since the mid 90s. Boyd actively captures field recordings for integration of sound with found objects.

In the video Boyd is shown very intrigued by sound, any kind of sound. From water streams to train works, he captures them all to use them in his work. The mix of urban and natural noises, together with music from vinyls produces a unique sound that he is known for or better yet, the sound he wants to make.

This documentary was produced in association with Southwest School of Art.
