Jack Prest is an interdisciplinary artist, sound engineer and composer. With a deep technical understanding of sound and training in conceptual art, his practice focuses on experimental electronic music. For Jack that means anything from ambient spaces to hip hop to music concrète to club beats. Viewing the studio as his main instrument, pushing sonic boundaries through music production overrides a specific style or genre.

Jack frames his sound practice within a wider interdisciplinary vision, best demonstrated by his debut work as lead artist, The Risk Of Hyperbole (commissioned by Phoenix Central Park in late 2021). His interdisciplinary work has received support from Art Gallery of NSW, Create NSW, Australia Council, Bundanon Trust, Foxy Digitalis, FBi, NTS and Dublab.

With over a decade of experience Jack’s path as an artist builds on an extensive career as a facilitator and collaborator. Performance works, for which he has composed original scores, have featured at top international arts centres including Salders Wells, Szigit Festival and Sydney Opera House. Jack is a senior engineer at Studios 301, Australia’s largest recording facility, and is a leading engineer within the Australia independent and alternative music scene. His engineering credits feature Godtet, Stones Throw, Future Classic and Sampa The Great.
