Stadiums & Shrines

 

Montreal-based French-British producer Jean Cousin has appeared in these pages as johnny_ripper and Triste Marker. In 2017, he found the lasting pseudonym of Joni Void and label home of Constellation Records. Two acclaimed avant-electronica LPs later, we find our friend in full swing, wielding total control of his abilities and aesthetic, a master collagist of sound and sculptor of tone. Naturally his ear for source material lends itself well to the mix format.

Here, Cousin collects outsider art — a wild style of drone, rap, classical, and the sprawling sampledelic et cetera — revolving around his trip to Japan last year. “The music I was listening to at the time, some that I discovered over there and have been listening to on my return. The name of the mix is Life Is Living You which was written on the side of a temple in Kyoto.”

The artwork comes courtesy of Nathaniel and his daughters, ages six and three, who are making fine use of their homeschooling at the moment.
