Texas composer Jonathan Geer has talent in many genres – from moseying, laid-back music to the soaring orchestral “Confessions,” a dark, spiritual hymn that arcs into an enigmatic and playful piece, perfect for dramatic moments in a film where hope and love reign supreme. Big in games production, his music appears in the Nintendo DS productions Marker Man Adventures and Clueless Fashion, and the upcoming PC game Dragon Portals. His tracks have appeared on Access Hollywood, the 700 Club, and BBC programs as well. Jonathan's 2001 BA in Film Scoring makes him a valuable resource!
Jonathan grew up in Waxahachie, Texas, and also plays solo, dreamy piano pieces, another instrument he has mastered as his musical talents developed through the years. Now living in the hot music city of Austin, we are pleased to represent his latest compositions here, as we are always looking for the most up-and-coming young artists of our times.
The online music magazine, Foxy Digitalis, describes Jonathan’s music as “...an upper crusty breath of fresh air in this noisy, fast-paced, make-a-buck music business.”
