John Chantler is a composer and organiser, living in Stockholm, Sweden working with electronics, organs and acoustics. He draws on a domestic reimagining of the traditions of studio based electronic compositions/musique concrete and 20th century minimalism and delivers this with brash revitalized energy. 'Which way to leave?’ is his latest LP for Lawrence English’s ROOM40 label and the self-reflexive sequencing that tracks the sub-harmonic series in the opening blast of 'Falling Forward' positions the record as Chantler's most explicitly melodic while the record’s abrupt cuts, deft variations of density and unexpected diversions are happily explored with headlong dives into ravishing texture and extended stretches of surface stasis.

"Chantler is a master of small degrees, a precision specialist who can make all manner of sounds, from the confrontationally large to the disappearingly small, serve the same vital purpose." — Marc Masters
