Ambient music that is sometimes dusty and at times sleepy. Utilizing acoustic instruments, found sounds, alongside synthesized and sampled material, Jason creates textured, melodic, collage-like works.
Under his previous moniker of 'bubblegone,' Jason has preformed at a number of venues and alternative spaces often along visual accompaniment of similar aesthetics.

Event Curation
2006, March 9th - Dorkbot.detroit at Sync 2006 - The 6th dorkbot.detroit took place at the University of Michigan's Duderstat Center as apart of the Digital Arts Festival, Sync. We opened the performance portion of the festival by kicking off the first of it's three days. This time around we had three very good presenters who brought their own unique style of the audio arts to present to the audience a diverse look the electronic music and electronic story telling.
2005, March 3rd - Dorkbot Detroit Signal Processing Chain - The idea of the signal processing chain is to have an audio source that will send an audio signal to a person with a device that can manipulate sound. That person’s signal would then be passed to the next person and so on. Can we control the audio beast? Will it be just noise? How many people can we get to take part?
2003, July 11th - 13th - Individual Deconstruction 3 - Artists and electronic musicians from the local and Chicago areas come together for weekend of visual art and experimental audio performances.
2001, June - Individual Deconstruction 2 - Artists and electronic musicians from the Detroit and Chicago areas come together for weekend of visual art and experimental audio performances.
