Clann

CLANN is the music alias of artist, filmmaker and self-taught composer Sebastian McKinnon. In 2013, McKinnon and his brother/business partner Benjamin, created KIN Fables, a grand-scale multimedia project, with a special focus on music and film. McKinnon directed, produced and composed the music for the trilogy of short films: KIN (2013), Salvage (2015) and Requiem (2015). The trilogy won several awards worldwide, most notably 2 Vimeo Staff Pick awards and a Best Cinematography award at the 2013 Fantasia International Film Festival. The soundtracks for the films were compiled on the KIN Fables Album, packaged with several other tracks by McKinnon, and released independently on Bandcamp, under the name CLANN, a moniker inspired by the relationships between the musicians and collaborators of the KIN Fables project. McKinnon frequently works with Canadian singer/songwriter Charlotte Loseth, aka Sea Oleena. For McKinnon, her voice is very much the soul of the project. Another frequent collaborator is French violinist Chloe Picard, providing heart-wringing string performances to McKinnon's blend of trip-hop beats and orchestral arrangements. Read more on Last.fm.
