(*1991 in Stuttgart, Germany) is a Copenhagen-based electro-acoustic musician. He grew up playing the saxophone and studied Jazz music in the Netherlands with Claudius Valk, graduating "cum laude". Around the same time, Jon started discovering free improvisation and digital sound processing as means of extending his expressive horizon on the saxophone and moved to Brussels to explore its vibrant experimental music scene. After two years of performing and teaching, Jon moved to Denmark to continue his research in a master program at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory, mentored by Lars Greve, Lotte Anker and Espen Reinertsen, where he focused on the combined performance of saxophone and live-electronics: His latest solo project is building songs with harmony and rhythm coming from textural manipulations of his extended saxophone playing. Since graduating, Jon has worked as a film composer, jazz saxophonist, free improviser and teacher for saxophone and electronics.
