Musical artist
Greg Jarvis is a Toronto born musician and composer best known for his work leading the orchestral rock group the Flowers Of Hell.[1][2][3][4] His various projects as a musician have received acclaim from members of The Velvet Underground,[5] The Patti Smith Group,[6] the Sex Pistols,[7] The Clash,[7] My Bloody Valentine,[8] and Spacemen 3/Spiritualized.[9][10] Jarvis's compositions are largely informed by timbre-to-shape synesthesia, a neurological trait which causes him to involuntarily see all sounds as layers of three dimensional shapes.[11][12][13][14]
