MAYSUNca
Montréal’s MAYSUN offers immersive instrumental music that evokes melancholy, acceptance and hope, delving into the temporal-spatial dimension of sound. Percussionist from a very young age, he studied music and jazz in college and university, then turned to synthesizers, field recordings, modular synths and sound engineering. Fond of sampling real-world environments, transformed through magnetic tape distortion, modular synthesis and assorted effect pedals, MAYSUN creates complex and immersive soundscapes, melding digital and organic.
Among his works are the extended plays All These Are the Days (2016), The Field of Living (2016) and Sun & Ice (2017). He recently released two albums, Waiting Spaces (2020) and The After Mountains (2020), and his assets otherwise include over 600 improvised sets recorded between 2017 and 2021.
