Jonathan Alexander arose as a classical pianist in the rural area of Fresno, CA and was inspired punk rock and alternative in the early 2000s. In highschool he learned the fundamentals of live mixing and contemporary stage performance as a DJ and chamber percussionist. Through different avenues of performance and ensemble membership, Jonathan became proficient in the bass guitar, mallet percussion, drum set, and concert piano. Throughout his last years of highschool Jonathan had acquired equipment for recording and production, and a love for sound design and synthesis. Transitioning into college, he joined R&B/Soul groups focused on pieces from the 50s, 60s and 70s and became familiar with organ and electric piano performance in the pop style. By the end of this expedition in early rock and soul Jonathan had developed a catalogue of Roland products; SYSTEM-8, TR-8, MX-1, JDXI and VT-4, and was piecing together a home studio with mastering capabilities. Jonathan now creates pieces out of Southern California exploring experimental recording techniques and synthesis.
