About

The artist

Jonas Bonnetta is a composer, multi-instrumentalist, field recordist, and producer based in Mountain Grove, Ontario. His exact solo Spotify identity centres on ambient and environmental composition, while his broader work includes the indie folk project Evening Hymns and the rural recording studio Port William Sound. Bonnetta's artist-operated Bandcamp identifies Mountain Grove as his base and documents a solo catalog built from place, acoustic instruments, electronics, and location sound. The exact Spotify identity contains three primary release containers from March 2018 through January 2024: two albums and one single. Little Seldom preceded the sixteen-track album All This Here in 2018. That album grew from field recordings made around Fogo Island and treats landscape sound as compositional material. Dark Watchers, a ten-track collaboration with violinist Edwin Huizinga, was first released independently in 2020 and reached the exact Spotify catalog in 2024. Its credits identify Bonnetta on piano, electronics, synthesizers, clarinet, writing, arrangement, location recording, and mixing. Port William Sound's current official site names Bonnetta and Caylie Runciman as the operators of its residential studio and creative retreat in Mountain Grove. A December 2024 Frontenac News report also identifies Bonnetta as an organizer of the Frontenac Folk Club, supporting his continuing role in the local music community. Through Evening Hymns, Bonnetta also led Spectral Dusk, which reached the 2013 Polaris Music Prize Long List. Professional inquiries for his solo work can be sent through the public contact control on his Bandcamp page. The separate Port William Sound website remains the appropriate route for studio projects. No private contact information is retained.
