" Inspired by the beauty of the natural environments he has been living and working in over the past few years from Europe to Indonesia, a sense of awe permeates Kawchuk's tapestry of bright melodies, mournful strings, delicate piano, serene ambience and brooding drone — as sublime and dangerous as the weather and environments that move him musically." - MUTEK Jonathan Kawchuk is a field recordist, sound artist, and composer from Canada. For his debut album, North (Paper Bag Records), all compositions were played back into the forests of Jostedal National Park, Norway, and re-recorded after reverberating around their natural surroundings. Jonathan is an alumnus of the Canadian Film Centre’s Slaight Family Music Residency as well as the Banff Centre for the Arts Musicians in Residence program. He is represented by Evolution Music Partners as a film composer and has scored multiple feature-length films, web series, and video features (including spots for Vogue Italia and Dior).
