Filming New Video

Prog On Review

Thanks Neil Folkard (Prog On) for the review: “On The Compromise Rationale the second part of a trilogy (part one being Fictional Mirrors), Jason layers multiple Warr Guitars and experiments with all kinds of effects, to create a truly menacing and unearthly musical landscape. At once cinematic, haunting and image-provoking, this is truly musical food for emotional thought.”

New Ambient Album

In 2020, I released the first album in a series of ambient explorations entitled, “The Darkness Found in Shadows.” It was music designed to accompany each of the seven deadly sins. In 2021, I released, “The Perfect Fallacy,” a soundtrack to a reoccurring dream. The next one is called “Dreaming in Numbers” and is a musical representation of numbers as they appear in our mind during sleep. Mixed and mastered by Dave Luxton Music, the album will be released by Wayfarer Records on January 27, 2021. More info coming soon. In the meantime, stream or buy the previous releases everywhere.
