Josh Semans is a composer, producer and ondes Martenot player based in the north-west of England.

Working from a converted attic studio, Josh’s work is uniquely textured, employing a range of instruments, sound-sources, and processes. A keen improviser, his creative process is a cocktail of exploration, repetition, and abstraction.

Josh regularly collaborates and works with other musicians and composers, having recorded and performed alongside Adrian Utley, Charles Hazlewood, Luke Sital-Singh, Hainbach, Simeon Walker, Alexandra Hamilton-Ayres, and many others.

As well as appearing on various BBC Radio programmes, and creating the LABS Ondes Musicales in collaboration with Spitfire Audio, he has performed on Tony Award-winning Alex Baranowski's score for A Christmas Carol, Volker Bertelmann's score for 'Against The Ice', and Lena Raine's soundtrack to RPG video-game ‘Moonglow Bay’.

— Higher Plain Music
...first ambient, then electronic, altogether triumphant.

The harmonic language is semi-modal and there is a filmic undercurrent. The whole thing is quite beautiful.
— Trust the Doc
Josh Semans’ electroacoustic sound mirrors nature’s sublime qualities.
— Particular Sound
