Joni Void is the artistic persona of Montréal-based French-British producer Jean Néant, whose output and various projects showcase their interest for experimentation, improvisation, collaboration and multi-genre explorations. Self-described as ‘cinéma-tek/cameratronica’ music, the montage-based production of Joni Void incorporates elements of electronic and sample-based beats, rap & hip-hop, psychedelia, musique concrete, plunderphonics, ambient, drone, glitch, minimalism & electro-acoustic/improvised music. Early-teen sonic experiments under the name ‘johnny_ripper’ gave way to the current Joni Void moniker, when Néant moved to Montréal in 2017 and became involved with the local music scenes and live performances. Released that same year, Joni Void’s debut album Selfless and its 2019 follow-up Mise en Abyme displayed creative processes and production methods involving micro-sampling, aleatory composition, and the techniques of foley and film sound editing; with albums constructed entirely from found sources rather than instrumental composition. Néant returns in 2023 with a sound-poetry album entitled Everyday Is The Song, a whimsical and contemplative journey through Walkman field recordings and crackled cassette and vinyl samples, an ode to those tangible and less tangible manifestations of music and sound accumulated throughout one’s existence.
