Josh Semans is a composer, producer, and ondes Martenot player based in the north-west of England. Working from a converted attic studio, his work is uniquely textured, employing a range of instruments, sound-sources, and processes. A keen improviser, his creative process is a cocktail of exploration, repetition, and abstraction. 
 "...first ambient, then electronic, altogether triumphant" - A Closer Listen “Beautiful, affecting, alien and otherworldly but in all cases brilliant” - Higher Plain Music 
 “Semans’ electroacoustic sound mirrors nature’s sublime qualities” - Particular Sound 
 Josh regularly collaborates and works with other musicians and composers, having recorded and performed alongside Adrian Utley, Luke Sital-Singh, Hainbach, Simeon Walker, and Alexandra Hamilton-Ayres, among others. 
 He has performed on Tony Award-winning composer Alex Baranowski's score for Jacqui Morris’ 'A Christmas Carol', Volker Bertelmann's score for 'Against The Ice', and Lena Raine's soundtrack to RPG video-game Moonglow Bay. As well as appearing on various BBC Radio and Sky Arts Television programmes, Josh has also created the 'LABS Ondes Musicales' software instrument in collaboration with Spitfire Audio. 
 Josh's ambitious second album, funded by the Help Musicians "Do It Differently" fund, is a collection of pieces for ondes Martenot, Juno 6, and string quartet. This album is being released on Hidden Notes Records in September 2023.
