Jason Stubbington is a native of Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. Growing up, Jason was exposed to many different styles and genres of music. He grew very interested in the urban music scene that seemed to be taking New York and the east coast of America by storm in the early 80's. He began making music in his teenage years where he started experimenting with electronic, hip-hop and world music. During this time Jason became very fluent in computers and the art of using technology to develop sound. Becoming more and more interested in music production and computers he began studying the techniques and craft behind working as an audio designer and sound technician. He then began working as a music producer with several artists in the surrounding area. His experience with bands ranged in musical style  from alternative to funk to hip-hop. While working along side these musicians, he began developing his own sound and started working as an arranger and producer for rap artists under the name... BigBrother.

 

Having also developed skill in video editing and graphic design, Jason decided to expand his work to include composing for film. Working along side film students who were developing projects in his surrounding area, he spent a great amount of time perfecting the skill of creating organic music using synthesizers and computers.  Jason found a lot of music made with technology in the past had a very lifeless, non-organic feel or sense of rigidness. He was determined to create music that could fool the listener into thinking they were hearing something much closer to live musicians than microchips and keyboards. After working on several projects ranging from short film to corporate video, Jason decided to start a music production company called Athorn Sound. His company would be built on the creative foundation of "emotion" and "diversity". These are key elements to anyone that is looking to bring their visual production to the next level with music.
