John Chantler is a musician and organizer 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. He has worked with Lawrence English, Steve Noble and Seymour Wright, and his music has been published by Room40 and SUPERPANG. Chantler also runs the Edition festival In Sweden as well as the label Fönstret.
John Chantler is an artist of the SHAPE+ platform for innovative music and interdisciplinary art, co-funded by the European Union and Pro Helvetia as well as the Ministry of Culture of Latvia.
