Jesse Osborne-Lanthier
A key figure in Montréal’s experimental community, musician and visual artist Jesse Osborne-Lanthier molds disconcerting sonic worlds by combining modular synthesizers with digital processing tools, while also drawing from a rich arsenal of field recordings, classical instruments, tape reels and recording hardware. Turned on to the endless potential of otherworldly, contrasting signals, Osborne-Lanthier’s conceptual practice conjures up slightly menacing realms that operate outside the bounds of musicality. Operating under many pseudonyms, Osborne-Lanthier thrives on collaborating with a like-minded entourage – artists such as Hobo Cubes, Bernardino Femminielli and Marie Davidson.
