Joynes played as a bassist in prog rock bands before discovering an interest in ambient music. Brian Eno was an early influence.[2] Recent work includes the live cinema piece On the Other Side... (for L. Cohen), commissioned by the 2008 Leonard Cohen International Festival in Edmonton, Alberta[3][4] as well as the soundtrack for the documentary Dirt.[5][6]
