CLANN is the music alias of artist, filmmaker and self-taught composer Sebastian McKinnon.
In 2013, McKinnon and his business partner/brother 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 of 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 made between the musicians and collaborators of the KIN Fables project.
McKinnon frequently works with Canadian singer/songwriter Charlotte Loseth, aka Sea Oleena, who released her much anticipated full length debut album “Shallow” on Lefse Records in 2014 to great acclaim.
CLANN’s music can be a described as a blend of trip-hop beats and orchestral arrangements, with Loseth’s unintelligible airy vocals providing an ethereal and mysterious quality to McKinnon’s emotional and cinematic compositions.
McKinnon hopes to pursue a music career as CLANN, and aims to make music for film/television, while perfecting his music production skills in order to start performing for live audiences.
