John Maus

John Maus, a music theorist in his own right, is not the typical contemporary artist you might encounter. Armed with a PhD in music, Maus sets himself apart not just by his compositions, but the underlying structures behind them, which often draw on his academic knowledge. Apart from his unique music, Maus also offers memorable and unordinary visual experiences, having crafted fascinating music videos that truly reflect his out-of-the-box approach to expression. Jennifer Juniper Stratford, a renowned video artist, allied with Maus to create the intriguing video for "Hey Moon," resulting in a stunning retro-futuristic medium that complemented Maus's lo-fi synth-pop aesthetics.

John Maus is also part of a select group of musicians who can boast about having Chicken McNuggets named after them. Yes, you're reading that right, once a fan joked about a McNuggets version named 'Maus Nuggets,' a proposal that spread like wild fire on the internet.

An early adopter of the lo-fi and synth-pop movement, Maus's distinctive approach to creating his music videos has often added to the ethereal quality that surrounds his works. For instance, the mercurial "Touchdown" video directed by Tina Rivera portrays a surrealistic spectacle of images and neon-like hues, that overlays Maus's hauntingly melodic track, providing an immersive embrace of the artist's musical realm. This synchronization of auditory and visual sensory stimulation, Maus’s attempts to revive the 80s touch in his music, along with his intelligent application of music theory are what place him in a unique lane in the industry.
