John Chantler is a musician and organiser living in Stockholm, Sweden. Still Light, Outside — his fourth LP — is an extended suite that combines passages of the pipe organ’s register with heavy distortion and electronics that operate according to their own dream logic. One of his LPs, The Luminous Ground – released in 2011, was included in The WIRE magazine’s top releases of that year. It was his first LP release focusing on the modular synthesizer system he first explored as part of the trio LP with Lawrence English and Tsujiko Noriko. A new LP will be released in August 2016. Originally from Australia, John Chantler spent a decade in London before moving to Sweden. There he worked as the producer at the celebrated experimental music venue Cafe OTO. And if you are a fan of experimental music such as John Chantler’s works, you will be in for a treat. This year in Fukuoka, he will surely show a unique performance using his modular synthesizer at the Art Space Tetra event. The two usual bands, Denshi Takujou Ongakudan and Jyurin, will also be performing alongside John Chantler.
