The MIDI Janitor

On Closed For The Festival, MIDI Janitor turns childhood memories of a Donegal Christian commune into warped, luminous hauntology: junkyard beats, dream‑logic electronics and uncanny “thin places” where pastoral bliss slips into quietly sinister wonder.

Holy to Dogs, the newest album from The MIDI Janitor, is a haunted, downtempo odyssey of outsider electronics and dusty, dreamlike beats. Vancouver’s Jonathan Orr repurposes scavenged MIDI controllers and obsolete synths, producing spectral melodies, melancholy textures, and a pulsating DIY spirit that veers between ambient, hauntology, and rusted techno.​
