Rick Hyslop is a Toronto based musician and composer working in film, theatre and modern dance. As a sound artist he creates sonic arrays for installations by other artists as well as exploring his own work in the realm of mixed media and sound sculpture.

Another of his passions is mathematics. Self taught and also through engaging with countless books and online mathematics lectures, Rick has picked up a good foundation from which he continues to explore and re-imagine numbers and shapes and their relationships to life, music and art.

Rick also makes violins and has previously worked as a pipe organ tuner/restorer, all of which informs and maintains his deep interest in the physicality of sound.

Rick is also a dedicated teacher of musical theory, composition and improvisational techniques using traditional instruments and found objects.
