Jonny’s marimba duo, Taktus, has been working with director and creator Tom Belding to produce a new music video. The video will be set to Music in Contrary Motion, the final track on Taktus’s most recent album, “Mirrored Glass.” The video is set to be released in the Spring of 2021.

Jonny has recently had a peer-reviewed paper published on the Drumming@50 website. This project celebrates the 50th anniversary of American composer Steve Reich’s famous work, Drumming, premiered in New York City in 1971. The site includes videos, interviews, historical information, and articles all centred on this phenomenal work by Reich. Jonny’s paper, titled “Relationship and Community in the Creative Process: The Steve Reich and Musicians Ensemble,” was one of six selected for this project. You can read it here.
