John Chantler is a musician and organiser living in Stockholm, Sweden. In 2019 he started building a system for performance consisting of multiple battery powered synthesizer/speaker things that can be variably suspended, swung, spun and set in locations without depending on the typical concert/club infrastructure and classical modes of performer/audience interaction. Chantler is currently an artist of the SHAPE+ platform for innovative music and audiovisual art, co-funded by the EU.
John Chantler shares some of his own recent work alongside a wide-ranging scan of Edition Festival festival archives with short excerpts from longer performances from each annual edition. The programme also includes releases from Fönstret, the label set up by the festival to formally surface material from the archives and promote local artists such as Lisa Ullén and Isak Hedtjärn. Chantler is currently an artist of the SHAPE+ platform for innovative music and audiovisual art, co-funded by the EU.
