Jon Ward

A composer, sound designer and audio engineer, working in London and Kraków.

I sometimes write plain music like this...

...but usually I work with bits of chopped up speech and other found sound.

Poetic speech with music. This was a collaboration with Ross Carter & James Yarker

The second rehearsal of a short choral piece commissioned by Oxford Playhouse.

From EP1 of Third Squad. Well recorded source material gave me the chance to create very detailed scenes and transitions.
