His music is often inspired by his appreciation of natural landscapes and the sound world created therein. Jon also finds inspiration from his interest in various topics of science and mathematics (chemical reactions, psychopharmacology, Markov chains), from manipulations of the human voice — both spoken and sung — and from literature. Jon’s music has been presented and performed at the SEAMUS conference (2013), Toronto International Electroacoustic Symposium, Electronic Music Midwest, the Electroacoustic Barn Dance, CEMIcircles Festival, N-SEME, NASA conference, the International Double Reed Society Conference (2012), the Northern Ohio Music Exchange (NOMA) concert at the Oberlin Conservatory, the Olmsted Festival of the Arts, and was included in the Alex Sramek call for scores for the Vox Novus 15 Minutes of Fame series.
