About
After playing in far too many funk-hip-hop-indie bands Jonathan Morton decided to quit them all and focus on recording and creating his own music. The songs stumble a little and do not like to follow their own instincs. He tries to let everything from Ligeti to Matmos to Howe Gelb find some sort of foothold.
He began playing music aged 5 when his mother taught him some basic piano, then came the French Horn and tours of Norway and Europe in Wind Quintets and orchestras, then he discovered the bass guitar and the joys of the indie band.
He moved from band to band, frustrated by the lack of creative ambition or the limitations of style....
Then he bought a digital 8-track and began making things in his bedroom when the neighbours were out...
This is what came out...Some of the tracks here are from his album 'Unravel' which is out in June 2009 on Broken Electric Records, and some are rough demos and other ideas.
He is also a photographer and writer with some poetry in a number of magazines, reviews scattered around and contributions in '1001 books to read before you die' and the editor of a book called 'Defining Moments in History' out now...

After convincing four friends to join me, in an effort to spread my love of Matmos and Cornelius around a little, I went to see an astonishingly great gig last night at the Southbank centre in London. The place was packed, which was lovely as I always feel a bit …

Joanna Newsom
"There is a rusty light on the pines tonight
Sun pouring wine, lord, or marrow
Down into the bones of the birches
And the spires of the churches
Jutting out from the shadows
The yoke, and the axe, and the old smokestacks and the bale and the barrow
And everything …

Different Trains
listening to 'different trains' by steve reich...still in awe...
just realised that the last thing i recorded could be described as if steve reich liked hip-hop beats and used punk guitar, fretless bass, ebow, paper-clips and slapped thighs...

I mix it up. Sometimes if I wanna knockout something quick I'll just use Reason, then throw it into Logic or Pro Tools to fatten up the sound. Depends on what result I'm tryna get.
