"Live at Low Pass, Berlin" out now. Recorded in a beautiful, circular church in Berlin earlier this year. Imperfections unsmoothed just some sensitive mastering by @quietdetails.bsky.social to help me recreate the sound in the room. jojohnson.bandcamp.com

An audience lies and sits on the floor of a circular church with glowing lights facing a performer in the distance.

Flow and Fracture A spring rises up sparkling Rivers overflow Clouds drawn in white ink drip become storms saturating the dry land This is not nothing

Jo Johnson@jo-johnson· Jan 19

From Muzan Editions (Japan): muzaneditions.bandcamp.com/album/flow-a... If you don't know the label already, they have a ton of great releases to discover and they're good people.

Jo Johnson@jo-johnson· Jan 19

I had a delivery today. 15 copies of this pretty tape album I made with Muzan Editions. I think half of them have gone already but if you miss out you could always support the label instead. From me (UK): jojohnson.bandcamp.com/album/flow-a...

Jo Johnson@jo-johnson· Dec 29

Thanks a million to @electronicsound.bsky.social and Ben Murphy for featuring my music and @silver-threads.bsky.social in this months edition of their luxury magazine. I've been a wary interviewee for a long time but found chatting to Ben super relaxed and hope that comes across.

Jo Johnson@jo-johnson· Dec 29

My third and final album of 2025, Flow and Fracture, is up on my Bandcamp page and has dropped into subscribers' collections already: jojohnson.bandcamp.com. Muzan Editions made 150 of these precious cassettes and I only have 4 to sell right now. Oh. Only one left!

Jo Johnson@jo-johnson· Dec 26

Giving in to the jet lag today. Just spent ≤ infinity in a hot bath and now I'm gonna join Spiegel in croissanting the afternoon away. Fingers crossed someone will feed us both at some point.

Jo Johnson@jo-johnson· Dec 25

Happy holidays, friends. Thanks for all the support this year from old friends and new, and to close friends for putting up with me being too busy to hang. I have a lot of catching up to do. As it looks like a Christmas card, my last album of 2025: Flow and Fracture on Osakan label Muzan Editions

Jo Johnson@jo-johnson· Nov 16

Last night at Strange Brew, Bristol. Thanks to all the listeners and to Strange Brew for having me. Rafael Toral was incredible

Jo Johnson@jo-johnson· Oct 27

I've resumed my slow album project Alterations – Volume Two is underway. Backstitch is a long track, teetering between rabble rousing and unnerving. The soundtrack to a growing movement. But which one? No streaming but it's in BC subscribers' collections and on sale for a bit 🪡 bit.ly/4np1Kkc

Tired legs today after dancing so hard at @bleep43.bsky.social to @dj-surgeon.bandcamp.com and @dan-bean.bsky.social once all my chores were done but managed a short walk in the autumn sun with @plant43.bsky.social 🍁🍂

Jo Johnson@jo-johnson· Oct 12

Feeling really inspired after @bleep43.bsky.social last night. Thanks to everyone who played and came along. We’ll share some photos and videos soon. 🥰
