Jonathan Schenke has been working with sound since 2001, and a fan of it since he can remember. He currently lives in Brooklyn, NY, where he co-owns and operates Studio Windows.  If you would like to talk about sound, please get in touch:

The New Yorker called Jonathan “a go-to producer for Brooklyn’s indie-rock elite”, Brooklyn Magazine named him a “Producer You Didn’t Even Know You Know (But Trust Us You Do)“, and Ears To Feed referred to him as “the tireless underground hitmaker”.  His work has been featured on National Public Radio, The New York Times, The New Yorker, Pitchfork, and Rolling Stone, and he has been interviewed by The New York Times, Tape Op (twice), Eventide (Artist Spotlight), Talkhouse (twice), Ears To Feed, Electronic Musician, Delicious Audio, Red Bull Music Academy, Interview Magazine and Stonehall Sessions.

He has worked with musicians you might like such as Parquet Courts, The Drums, Liars, Cassandra Jenkins, Dougie Poole, Nation Of Language, Gong Gong Gong, Liturgy, Alex Zhang Hungtai/Dirty Beaches, Snail Mail, and Mannequin Pussy.  Some of the records he’s worked on have been released on a variety of labels including Anti, Dead Oceans, Fat Possum, Matador, Mom + Pop, Mute, Partisan, Rough Trade, Sacred Bones, Thrill Jockey, What’s Your Rupture, and XL.

Jonathan is a musician, releasing music under his own name and as member of the groups P.E., Eaters, and Gift Horse.  Passages – his debut solo album on No Gold – draws deeply from Schenke’s previous musical endeavors, as well as his background in classical & jazz recording and sound design. Synthesizers share space with piano, strings, voice, and wind instruments – some performed live, others resampled. The resulting album is its own sonic realm, blurring the lines between electronic and acoustic, composition and collage, and definition and abstraction.

He has also worked on films (shown and awarded at Sundance, South By Southwest, AFI Fest, and other festivals), television shows (on IFC and Comedy Central), commercials (for Cole Haan, FILA, Intel, TiVo, et al), installations (at Knockdown Center, Case Western Reserve University, and across NYC), software (Eventide’s ‘Physion’ and ‘TVerb’), and video games.
