After completing a degree in Industrial design Jim Moynihan began freelancing as a product and sound designer on a broad spectrum of commercial and art-based projects that saw him exhibit his conceptual ideas in museums around the world. He won a wide range of audio production awards including the First Place and Peopleís Choice Award, Electrovision 2004, and Best Sound Design, 2003 in the 15/15 International Film Festival.
His sound installations toured both nationally and internationally, from Melbourneís renowned Hosier Lane (Nextwave 2006) and Federation Square (Sate of Design Festival 2004) to Tokyo Designers Block 2002 and 100 Percent Design (London, 2003).
What started as a love of the drums progressively shifted to percussion, and finally settled into a love of electronic production. The Spoonbill project was born in 2003. Since then Spoony has played countless live shows across the globe,and released three acclaimed studio albums Zoomorphic (2009), Nest Egg (2007) and Megafauna (2005).
Spoonbill's anarchic, quirk-funk, glitched-up aesthetic has been forensically finessed like never before, sculpted to a well-bodied medley of groove-based sound art.
