Jonathan Ammons
"Weather its Trip-Hop, Pop, Trance, Reggae, Drum and Bass, Hip-Hop, Folk or just plain Rock and Roll, Jonathan Ammons has probably produced it. His diverse tastes and unique style has given him a name in local circles and in various nooks and crannies across the net. With roots planted heavily in electronic and ambient music, and with no formal music training, Ammons has achieved surprisingly remarkable results." --ATS

Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
A friend of mine has a project called Cruel Planet (www.mp3.com/cruelplanet) and does electronic music, and he was letting me hear some of it one day about two years ago. I began asking questions, one thing led to another and before too long, I had my own digital studio. I have never learned to play an instrument, and what i do play i picked up on my own. I have never had music theory or any of that. I just do what i think sounds good.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes! I DJ! Just email me for booking information.
Your musical influences
I love music in general. Think the Popmart days of U2 meet Madonna with a mix of Moby, Dirty Vegas and Paul Van Dyk meets Oakenfold. In other words, just a managerie of Electronic sounds.
What equipment do you use?
I use Orion Platinum with dozens of VST's, Edirol UA-20 and a Sound Blaster Extigy.
Anything else?
yeah, buy my cd!
