Jonathan has worked with musicians you might like such as Parquet Courts, The Drums, Liars, 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, Fat Possum, Matador, Mom + Pop, Mute, Partisan, Rough Trade, Sacred Bones, Thrill Jockey, What’s Your Rupture, and XL.

Jonathan 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), software (Eventide’s ‘Physion’ and ‘TVerb’), video games, and installations.

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.

Jonathan is a musician and member of the groups Eaters and P.E. Eaters is an electronic/art-rock trio, who have released two full-length LPs (in 2014 and 2017) as well as a number of sound-sculpture related projects: the ‘Moment of Inertia’ EP (a work created specifically for an original sound sculpture of the same name), ‘Prisms’ (a soundtrack to a sound and light installation), and ‘Armonica‘ (ambient drone created with a hand-build Glass Armonica & synths).  Jonathan and his collaborator from Eaters Bob Jones started P.E. in 2018 with members of the defunct punk band Pill.  They have released two full-length albums – Person and The Leather Lemon – on Wharf Cat Records, alongside a smattering of mixtapes, covers, and remixes.

Jonathan has toured the world as a live sound engineer with Parquet Courts, Frankie Rose, Dirty Beaches, Dan Deacon and Girl Talk.  He has also worked in clubs like the Empty Bottle in Chicago and Glasslands in NYC, and at Pitchfork Music Festival doing sound on the Blue stage from 2007-2014.

Previous musical projects include Mittens on Strings (cosmic Americana), mung (proggy no-wave), and Secret Eyes (improvised electronics).  He also briefly ran a small label called SOUNGS (2009-2012).
