John Stephen Richards (born 1966 in Bideford, England) is a musician and composer working in the field of electronic music. Since 1999, he has predominantly explored performing with self-made instruments and creating interactive environments for composition.
In the mid 1990s, Richards’ works began to be recognised amongst the electroacoustic community. He received a mention at the Institut International de Musique Electroacoustique de Bourges in 1997, and in the same year had a work performed at Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival. In 1996, along with Nick Fells, Dylan Menzies, Gabriel Prokofiev, and Timothy Ward, Richards formed nerve8: an experimental sound diffusion group.
Richards’ work with the post-punk group Sand (Soul Jazz Records) and kREEPA has also received international recognition. kREEPA was formed in 2000 with Hilary Jeffery, who Richards met at Dartington International Summer School in 1990. Key contributors to the work of kREEPA have been British saxophonist Paul Dunmall and contra-bass recorder player Cesar Villavicencio. Since 2004, the group has also worked closely with Nicholas Bullen (founder member of Napalm Death and Scorn), and have released material on Bullen’s label Monium. Whilst working with kREEPA, Richards developed the kreepback instrument: an assemblage of self-built sound generating devices and discarded analogue audio hardware patched together to create a feedback labyrinth. His connection with Gabriel Prokofiev has continued, and he released in different guises pieces on Prokofiev’s nonclassical label, the most notable of these being a work for piano and electronics performed by GéNIA with re-mixes by Vex'd and Max De Wardener amongst others.
He was born in Port Hill, Prince Edward Island, the son of Captain William Richards and Susan Yeo, and was educated at Saint Dunstan's College and King's College. In 1884, Richards married Alice Broad. He served in the province's Executive Council as provincial secretary and Commissioner of Agriculture. Richards was leader of the opposition from 1912 to 1915. He died during a visit to Los Angeles, California at the age of 59.
His brother James William Richards also served in the provincial assembly and sat in the House of Commons.

He was a protégé of Daniel O'Connell, and recalled with gratitude a case where the judges would not hear him: O'Connell argued the case on his behalf with frequent references to what "Mr. Richards would have said if he had been permitted to"; Richards in later years never ceased to praise O'Connell's "ability and perseverance". Like O'Connell, he was a staunch supporter of Catholic Emancipation.

John Richards, DJ KEXP Radio | You Are Not Alone. Music Heals.
My guest this week is John Richards (he/him) | Director of Programming, On Air | Host of the Morning Show. KEXP is an independent radio station that bucks the entire system. No DJ is ever asked or forced to play any song at all. They play what they love, they have direct lines of communication with the listeners and the artists. John has been with the station for over 20yrs helping the station grow exponentially.
For most of his adult life John’s been starting the day for thousands of """"morning faithful"""", all who got turned onto the show and made it a staple in their lives. John’s Morning Show is known for it’s fantastic themes, intimate live performances, and has been responsible for breaking acts like The Lumineers, The National, M83 and many others.

What makes John so special is his belief that music heals and his commitment to using his platform to work with listeners through our toughest issues- grief, depression, loneliness, and anxiety. It’s oxymoronic how intimate he has made the medium of radio, but that’s what he does, with the constant reminder that “you are not alone. music heals.”

During the shooting of The Sound is Innocent in the Slovak Radio Building, Dirty
Electronics occupied the corridors and basement of the building. An ad hoc group of
artists were amassed who become actors/performers in the film. Electronic
components and loudspeakers were scavenged from the film set made of discarded
technology. From these pickings, a sound system and instruments were built and
used to create a live performance that formed the basis for one of the distinct
chapters of the film.
At NEXT 2019, Richards performed with a group of artists participating in the Dirty Electronics Workshop happening just one day before the performance.
Produced by A4 as a part of a project of international cooperation Re-Imagine Europe, co-financed

John Richards vo svojej tvorbe rozvíja ideu projektu Dirty Electronics, zameranú na zdieľanie zážitkov, rituály, gestá, dotyky a sociálnu interakciu. Zaoberá sa najmä vystúpeniami s veľkými skupinami a vlastnoručne navrhnutými a vyrobenými nástrojmi, ako aj vytváranie hudby pomocou elektronických prístrojov. Jeho diela posúvajú hranice medzi performanciou, elektronikou a grafickým dizajnom a majú transdisciplinárny aj spoločensko-politický rozmer. V minulosti Dirty Electronics na objednávky rôznych umeleckých organizácií a festivalov vytvorili viacero zvukových prístrojov a vydali tiež sériu vreckových syntetizátorov pod Mute Records.
Počas nakrúcania dokumentu The Sound is Innocent (Zvuk je nevinný) Dirty Electronics okupovali chodby a podzemie budovy Slovenského rozhlasu. Zozbierali náhodnú skupinu umelcov, ktorí sa následne stali hlavnými aktérmi/performermi vo filme. Na pľaci pozostávajúcom z vyhodenej aparatúry nachádzali súčiastky a reproduktory. Z tých potom postavili nástroje použité v živom vystúpení, ktoré je jednou z výrazných kapitol snímky.
Na festivale NEXT 2019, Richards vystúpil spolu so skupinou umelcov, ktorí sa účastnili workshop Diery Electronics, konajúci sa len deň pred samostným vystúpením.
V rámci projektu medzinárodnej spolupráce Re-Imagine Europe, spolufinancovaného EU programom Kreatívna Európa, Fondom na podporu umenia a Bratislavským samosprávnym krajom.
