Joni Void (from Montreal)

Joni Void is the musical persona of Montreal-based French/British producer Jean Cousin – previously known in the Soundcloud, Bandcamp and other online communities as johnny_ripper.

A self-taught musician making tracks since he was 14 years old and living in Lille, France, Cousin moved to Montréal in 2012 to pursue Film Studies. He plunged into the city’s fertile DIY/loft scene and in a spirited transformation, evolved from cloistered bedroom/virtual persona to highly engaged organizer and performer. As the shift towards the live environment led to a multitude of collaborations and improvised performances, Cousin found himself abandoning instrumental composition entirely and making a conscious move towards montage-based sound, and the Joni Void persona coalesced around a singular and compelling style incorporating elements of ambient/drone, minimalism, rap and hip-hop beats, psychedelia, glitch, and musique concrête with influences from the experimental film world.

Cousin has self-released a cavalcade of original albums and remixes since 2011. Selfless was his debut release on a record label, and garnered praise (including a spot on Pitchfork’s list of Best Experimental Albums of 2017), for its textured layering of found sounds and its genre-spanning, exploratory spirit. His second, Mise En Abyme, releases in March 2019, and displays Cousin’s finely-honed ability to fuse disparate elements and moods: the digital and organic, archaic devices and forward-thinking technologies, claustrophobic isolation and human warmth.

Cousin’s earliest records, made when he was a teenager, combine piano and field recordings while drawing inspiration from piano-based film soundtracks such as Jon Brion’s work for Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Michael Andrews’s score for Donnie Darko, and Philip Glass’s film compositions as well as the sample worlds of artists like Boards Of Canada, The Books, Four Tet and Burial. His efforts situated him within a compelling network to bedroom artists and DIY producers with analogous lo-fi production and song-making intuition who espoused the ethos of self-release, sharing/interacting directly and personally through the internet. An increasing obsession with micro-sampling, aleatory composition, history of cinema and the techniques of foley and film sound editing – along with an expansively active practice of remixing and beat-making – has seen Cousin’s music flourish in fascinating ways. Perhaps most importantly, Cousin now constructs his tracks entirely from found sources and aims not to ‘play’ anything at all. His personal hero Delia Derbyshire (White Noise; the early years of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop) along with fellow sonic pioneers Erik Satie, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Susumu Yokota cemented his commitment to making musique concrète avant-pop, albeit now utilizing today’s more accessible digital tools.

Outside of his own recorded work, Cousin keeps busy with the digital creative platform Everyday Ago. The site, freshly re-launched in 2019, serves as a collaborative extension of Cousin’s work as Joni Void and highlights events, content, and other musical efforts of friends and collaborators from Montréal and beyond.

「内面世界の歩行を、楽曲制作を通して行う。それは意図せず、結果としてそうなる。物語は道に属している。その道は山にのびていく。私の場合は。」 2016年山岳幽玄電子音楽”Mr.Granola”のデータ/CD自主リリースをきっかけに、翌17年より神戸を中心にライブ活動を開始。同年Newmasterpieceより20分越えの長尺2曲収録の”FF”をデータ/18年カセットをリリース。19年2月に4曲収録の”Permafrost EP”をデータ/カセット自主リリースし、フルアルバムの発表も控えている。

三重県在住のアンビエント作家 京都を中心に活動を行っているvivartaの朝倉直浩が行うプロジェクト 昨年の11月に3作品目となるyou were goneをリリース 。 フィールドレコーディングを多く含んだambient,minimal な作品になっている。 決して日常に寄り添う音楽にはなり得ない。 咽び泣く程に美しい朝焼けを見るように、あまりにも儚く、どこまでも純粋。 退廃的なのに退廃を感じさせないのは、彼の住む土地のせいか、彼の持つエレクト リックのせいか、彼のせいか。
