BIO

Haunting avant-gothic songwriter Daniel Janvier’s trio featuring Gene Converse and Victor O (American Standard Trio) take tortured song structures imbibing them with industrial noise textures and clattering metal that mix with Janvier’s foreboding guitar work and ghostly vocals. Murky emotional music that feels akin to Nick Cave or even the more subdued late period Scott Walker outings. Vocals call out from beneath a pile of improvised noise scraps and discarded distortion.

Janvier launched Output 1:1:1 initially as a solo project. On November 1, 2019, Janvier released debut Retroactive Rock Record. Recorded and engineered by Sean Sutherland, the album is an expressive and personal exploration of overwhelming fear. “I had a series of panic attacks in 2016. I started trying to interpret them through music and found my voice,” Janvier said about the development of the album. “Sean was incredibly supportive during this process. His own experiments pushed the songs into territory I didn’t know was possible.”

In December 2020, Output 1:1:1 released MK II: Quiet Time as part of Demo Fest 2020. Demo Fest raised funds for migrant justice network Solidarité sans frontières. Output 1:1:1 joined 200 other bands and artists submitting original work to the project. MKII: Quiet Time was Output 1:1:1’s first release as a three-piece.

Output 1:1:1 also runs the podcast Cold Waves of Comfort, titled after an album concept Janvier began in 2017. The podcast is split in two parts - one entirely music, the other part a conversation loosely related to the music.
