About

Borealis is the debut collaborative LP from American midwestern based instrumental musicians John Hayes and Maxy Dutcher. Hayes, a pianist and producer from Minneapolis, Minnesota, is known best for his ability to craft delicate piano compositions as well as his experimental recording techniques which have led to his unique sound and timbre.

Dutcher is an electronic musician from Missoula, Montana who primarily creates experimental ambient and dance music. He uses both analog and digital equipment to create elaborate soundscapes and driving, interlocking rhythms.

Together they weave a lush tapestry of neo-classical sensibilities and driving electronic elements. Their collective styles form a unique contrast full of dynamic textures, evocative moods and an array of colours.
