Jon Autry began his music career playing noisy, chaotic music in garage bands on the East Side of Indianapolis. During that time he got his first drum machine (a LinnDrum II), synth (a MicroMoog) and an old reel-to-reel 4-track (actually a TEAC quad deck). Excited by noise punk and electronic music, he began trying figure out where he fit musically and started making recordings.
Eager to expand his artistic and DIY horizons, he later moved to Chicago where he worked at a recording studio (and lived illegally in a windowless room upstairs). Time not spent engineering other people’s music was spent working through the night on his own.
Eventually settling in Brooklyn, Jon has completed three full-length records so far and released two of them. In 2009 Jon had his first solo art show, showcasing his ambient sleep project “What Dream Is Worth This?” His music has appeared on This American Life on both NPR and Showtime, as well as in short features for Vimby.com and New Era hats. Later this year, several of his instrumentals will be featured in the new full-length documentary “LaPorte, Indiana”.
Jon’s music has been performed as a five-piece band, solo acoustic act and solo vocal/electronic act in a variety of venues ranging from DIY tours and house shows, to the Winter Music Conference in Miami and South By Southwest, to the immense honor of performing solo at Frank Lloyd Wright’s estate, Taliesin, in Wisconsin.
This August he’ll be touring the midwest and northeast with a four piece band.
