About me:
HERE JANNEY INTERVIWED ON NPR

  CHECK OUT LOGAN AIRPORT INSTALLATION VIDEO

  Christopher Janney was trained as an architect (Princeton University, B.A. Architecture - Visual Arts, 1973 - magna cum laude; M.I.T. - M.S. Environmental Art, 1978) and a jazz musician (private studies, 1963-1973, Dalcroze School, 1974-75).  Believing that there was more to creating a dynamic urban environment than erecting buildings, Janney developed his own multi-media studio, PhenomenArts, Inc. in 1980. 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).
    
He has been awarded "Sound Designer of the Year", by LDI/Theater Arts Magazine for his innovative public sound environments and the Edison Award from General Electric for innovation in design.  His work has been profiled on CBS Sunday Morning, HGTV, Architectural Record, The New York Times andin a 30-minute award-winning documentary titled "Drum of Time."  
   
In 2006, Janney is scheduled to tour his “Sonic Forest” in both the US and Europe at major music festivals including “Bonnaroo” in Manchester, TN and “Hyde Park Calling” in the London with Pink Floyd and The Who.  As well, he is designing an 11-story parking structure for the city of Fort Worth, TX as an interactive light/sound environment, scheduled to open in 2007. A book on his work, titled “Architecture of the Air,” is scheduled to be released in September with the inauguration of “Rainbow Cove Green and Red,” two nine-story elevator/stair towers at Logan Airport, Boston, MA and an exhibition at The Boston Architectural College.
Believing also that architecture is about a manifestation of the "public spirit," Janney is also a Visiting Professor at Pratt Institute School of Architecture where he teaches his course, "Sound as a Visual Medium."
