From Johan, "My intention with this mix was the share and showcase music that leaves me transfixed, excited, and disoriented. Some recurring elements: perplexing percussion, impossible instruments, sneaky microtonality, repetition, variation, repetition, and so on and so forth..."

Johan Seytoun is a musician, writer, and trained perfumer living in Montreal, Quebec. He spent a number of years immersed in Toronto's experimental music world, having worked as Front of House staff at The Music Gallery for half a decade while occasionally performing across the city and composing for various projects.
