Hi, I’m Ian T. Jones, a composer and percussionist based in Greensboro, NC. I write original scores for film, theater, and concert works, and perform as a versatile percussionist and musician. My work blends traditional concert music with electroacoustic techniques, and I enjoy collaborating with fellow artists on interdisciplinary projects. I studied at Eastman School of Music (University of Rochester) and UNC Greensboro, and I’ve produced live sound for ensembles and livestreams, while continuing to compose and arrange for small ensembles and film.
