Artist History I've been producing this stuff since the mid-1970s, when I used a borrowed Wurlitzer and a reverb coil. My budget has grown since then (tho I'm still a sucker for toy instruments) and the advent of computer sampling and sequencing has made things even easier to warp.

Instruments Keyboard, computers, found sounds, kalimba, guitar, vox ...

Albums blame it on jj -- Eclectic; Turbine Thrust Tests -- Noise

Press Reviews just john is a classic, a "pre-post-postmodernist solo artist." there is no one who compares to him in the realm of independent experimental music ... --raw42 ( http://www.raw42.com/reviews/just_john2.html ) - - - - - - - - - - - - - With musical pieces like "Oh One One" which sounds like an audio animatron going haywire in a musical instrument factory, Just John is well on his way to redefining the term "contemporary musical wit". Think Zappa meets Eno and they down 17 espressos each! ... All in all, a blast for the times when you want something smart, satirical and thought provoking. --Mp3Reviews.com ( http://www.mp3reviews.com/soft/justjohnin.html ) - - - - - - - - - - - - - This reviewer doesn't claim to be knowledgable in film music or environmental soundscapes. But, however, I know what frightens Ditka, my Rottweiller .... Just John is a solo artist who likes to play. His Zappaesque approach to soundscape reveal an incessant, light and amusing sense of humour. I simply loved it. This music is for those times when you have nothing to do but lay on the sofa and watch a movie with your eyes closed. --Pete Marinovich ( http://www.minstrel.net/reviews/justjohn.html )
