John Chantler is a musician and organiser living in Stockholm, Sweden working with synthesis and exploring the aesthetic implications of different infrastructure for electronic music performance.

Originally from Australia he spent a decade in London before moving to Sweden in 2014 where he has directed an annual festival for ‘other music’ in Stockholm called Edition and runs Fönstret — releasing music by local artists and surfacing material from the festival’s archives.

His solo recording Tomorrow is too late (October 2019, ROOM40) was originally commissioned by INA GRM for the 2018 Présences Électronique festival in Paris. His most recent release Hell or High Water (2023) is a collaboration with Daniel M Karlsson for computer controlled analog synthesis.
