Based In L.A, Jon is a member ofThe War On Drugsand has worked with artists including David Byrne, St. Vincent, The National, Father John Misty and Liza Minnelli. He is an award winning film composer, his most recent scores are for the Maltese filmLuzzuandNo Futurewhich will premiere at Tribeca Film festival this year.
Jon corroborates some of previous guest (and mutual friend) Tom Carlson’s tour tales as well as expanding on some of the David Byrne day trip stories. They talk about touring, finding a natural affinity for film composition and some excellent insight into Jon’s writing process.
Jon chats about some of his favourite scores, inspirations and how he’s become ‘irritatingly proficient’ at the ukulele.
Keep your eyes peeled later in the week for an extra episode with Jon. Amongst other things, he talks about his Ska band days, working with Liza Minnelli, more insight intoThe War On Drugsand a whole bunch of very impressive digressions!
