I’m not a genre. I’m not a box. I am Antoin Gibson — Belfast-born, London-based artist and Founder of Circum-Sonus Ltd.
My work is built on full creative control, sonic worldbuilding, and an uncompromising vision that reshapes expectation. I make music the industry never realised it needed — until now.
I create through instinct: following resonance, rejecting noise, and building each track as a distilled piece of identity.
This isn’t genre-hopping. There was never a genre to hop between.
This is expression as ritual. Sound as ceremony. Story as spell.

Reviews still coming in about Cirque du Sonus! Here is another beautiful piece from one of the most supportive fanbases who I'm eternally grateful for, Brazil! Os Osgarotos de Liverpool :
"Moving through dark-pop, with a narrative built on grand performance and elements perfectly suited for ballads and radio, it features striking vocals, engaging beats, and an energy that invites us to dance and not stand still.
This work is part of a portal into the universe the artist has been building over the last few years — creations that end up uniting themselves through his concept and identity"

Serene Despair
2025
"Serene Despair"
The title, a paradox but a perfect encapsulation of my concept.
It's an EP that to my surprise is unique, a concept not done before but is something I've always had fascination, connection, intrigue and was always going to be an essential artistic piece.
Serene Despair is a concept EP that reimagines five mythological femme fatale figures: Succubus, Morrigan, Siren, Medusa, and Banshee through immersive personal narratives and genre-bending to fit each lore both lyrically, performance, sonic-soundscape so every track has a different genre-blending and style that allows for musicality to be enjoyed by everyone whether you like dark pop, electronic darkwave dance club music, ethereal ballads, cinematic pieces, it is all contained in "Serene Despair" and connected through a sound cohesive concept and track order.
Each track is a personal embodiment of their original lore: not referenced by name, but felt through mood, emotion, and sound. It allows Universality where you don't need to be a deep mythological lore fan to be enjoyable to enjoy and interpret the songs as the musical pieces they are. The deeper meanings give extra reward to those who do know, wish to know more and enjoy deeper meanings of the mystic wonders.
The EP explores the sinister beauty, power, and isolation of these mythic beings, fusing lush production with lyrical depth. Rather than modern pop tropes who may mention an entity in name as a passing lyric in a way that is a dilution of the rich heritage, culture and origins that I felt compelled and passionate about this release, it draws on their true origins - making mythology visceral and emotionally modern.
A paradox of haunting serenity and aching despair, this is not just music; it's a ritual.
