JONATHAN STONE
From Imagining to Managing
MUSIC
I am currently (March 25) working on some new songs and pieces and will perform them when they are ready.
During 2022 and 23 I was working on several songs for voice, imaginary languages and guitarThere were four motivations behind the songs:
1. Lockdown.
2. Relearning guitar, an instrument I played as teenager and sporadically since.
3. I wanted to explore music that was non digital, intimate and music that attempted to marry beauty and humour.
4. after my diagnosis I was very aware of keeping my voice and hands alive and looking at the neurology of practice.
​
I have composed music for Ralf Ralf, Hot Mouth, Dinner, Dance Umbrella and other theatre and dance companies in UK and internationally. I am always interested in collaborating on different and unusual musical projects.
I teach workshops in rhythm, collaboration and physical and vocal improvisation.
Here are some fragments of my music from long ago:
