“Jason gave the perfect performance to illustrate what I always want to say about Art: it's about making things that create feelings in people, important feelings that they might otherwise forget about.” - Brian Eno

One of the frontrunners in creating music from plants, Jason is a leading creative in this fascinating field, making music in collaboration with plants, trees as well as the creatures that live within the ecosystem.

DJ’ing since 1988, Jason’s wide breadth of music encompasses underground dance music cultures from around the world with a deep focus on groove based genres. His sets include ritual based rhythms and plant derived soundscapes, to heavyweight DJ sets incorporating live beatboxing and vocal sound design.
