Joni Void is the artistic persona of Montréal-based French-British producer Jean Néant (he/them), whose output and various projects showcase their interest in 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. By way of their platform Everyday Ago, Joni Void have extended their sound practice into other collaborative and live-based projects.

Néant’s sound-world began developing in their early teens. A self-taught producer hailing from Lille, France and operating under the moniker ‘johnny_ripper’, they displayed unprecedented dexterity with remixing and sampling as well as a singular style of composition on piano keyboards and other virtual instruments; engaging purely online with DIY artists-communities; with no knowledge or intention of performing live; limited knowledge of the music industry at large. Released in August 2011,Néant’s first official album Soundtrack for a film that doesn’t exist accurately describes their style and modus operandi.

Mise En Abyme is the second full-length by Joni Void, the avant-electronica project of France / Canada producer Jean Cousin, following his acutely accomplished and acclaimed 2017 debut album Selfless (number 8 Experimental Album of 2017 at Pitchfork).Consistent with Selfless, the primary materials for the sample-based cut-up songcraft on Mise En Abyme are Cousin's recordings of the voices of various friends. His self-professed body / voice dysmorphia, social disphoria, and search for the disembodied-yet-emotional transcendent subject, continues to compel the use of other (predominantly non-verbal) voices in the construction of these sublimely affecting electronic-minimalist compositions. Mise En Abyme is markedly more introspective and meditative than its predecessor, explicitly in search of intimacy and recuperative beauty. Grappling with a cascade of heartbreaks and discontinuities over the past year, Cousin also calls the new album a "time-travel experiment", as he culls sounds from devices and sources spanning childhood to retrieve and reframe subjective memories, histories and regressions through former selves via immersion in the evocative potential of the mostly wordless voices of others. The resulting song cycle is a remarkable blend of conceptual abstraction and highly emotive warmth, interiority, humanity and specificity.LP - Deluxe 180 Gram Heavyweight audiophile vinyl pressed at Optimal (Germany) and comes in a thick 24pt/450gsm jacket printed on uncoated 100% recycled paperboard, with a 12"x24" art print poster, and 320kbps MP3 download card.CD - Housed in a custom mini-gatefold jacket printed on uncoated 100% recycled paperboard, with an inner dust sleeve housing the disc.
