About Jonas Ruchenhever

Jonas made his first sound work when he was fourteen, using a variable speed cassette recorder, a four-track reel-to-reel machine, a couple of microphones, a cheap acoustic guitar, a lot of household appliances, and, when he had the money to spare, a rented Arp Odyssey. Three years and a pile of tapes later (mostly filled with hardly bearable stuff) he abandoned making sounds to pursue other creative interests.

Decades went by, and in 2005 Jonas quietly returned to creating sound works: audio collages, soundscapes with processed field recordings, experimental music and drone works. In 2007 he recorded a series of more accessible tracks based on notes he took during his day-long walks in Chicago ten years earlier. They are now collected in the album 'Elevate Me Now' (demo).



Thank you for your interest, comments and support.
