Jon Durant :: guitarist | composer | producer
Guitarist Jon Durant brings a unique sense of texture and melody to his instrument. His distinctive “cloud guitar” soundscapes and engaging lead work have graced numerous CD recordings and film soundtracks. As executive producer of Alchemy Records, he produces recordings for internationally acclaimed artists in his small Massachusetts-based studio.
berklee and beyond
Jon attended Berklee College of Music in the early 80s, after having studied privately with fusion guitar legend and Emmy Award-winning composer Randy Roos. Jon bolted before long (too much jazz for his independent, prog-rock spirit), but has kept playing and recording with Roos to this day.
Post-Berklee, Jon earned a marketing degree from Emerson College and worked in HiFi for Nantucket Sound, NAD (electronics) and Atlantic Technologies (speakers). Later, as Marketing Manager at digital-audio innovators Lexicon, he handled artist relations and got his daily guitar-freak fix as the primary demo guy for the JamMan and Vortex looping/morphing effects products.
After seven years his independent spirit kicked in once again. Jon dropped out of the corporate world to immerse himself in his own music. He started Alchemy Records in 1996 and has never looked back. In addition to longtime collaborators Tony Levin (bassist with King Crimson and Peter Gabriel), percussionist Vinny Sabatino, pianist Michael Whalen, and guitar/synth master Randy Roos, Jon has recorded with Colin Edward of Porcupine Tree, electric violinist Caryn Lyn, percussionist Jerry Leake, New York singer/songwriter Porter Smith, soul singer Ray Greene and many others.
on the home front
Jon now has a lot more time to play music with his two teenage sons. With Matt on bass and Harrison on guitar and keys, they do their own thing and cover lots of Porcupine Tree, Sigur Ros, Foals (and some Zappa, naturally). Jon has also collaborated on recordings with his brother, Lexington, KY–based Kingston Durant, as well. The two briefly had a quartet in New Hampshire playing their own original jazz compositions.
on a desert island
If forced to answer the question, “If stuck on a desert island and you could only bring three records, what would they be?” Jon would answer as follows:

Like all of Durant’s work, “Dance of the Shadow Planets” defies categorization. Part concept album, part freeform exploration, it’s a mesmerizing, multidimensional mix of ambient soundscapes and melodic storytelling. Durant's compositions integrate elements of jazz, progressive rock, new age and minimalism, creating rich texture and a wholly unique space.
“Dance of the Shadow Planets” is a line borrowed from Shalimar the Clown, Salman Rushdie’s epic novel set in the precarious region of Kashmir. The shadow planets represent love and hate, and the dance is their interplay within us all, and their influence over our actions on a daily basis. These themes are woven throughout the nine tracks of this recording, exploring passion, tension, chaos and magic. “The book was definitely resonating with me throughout the entire writing process,” explains Durant, who composed the entire work in a flood of inspiration that took just three weeks.
When it came time to record, Colin flew in from England, Caryn came up from Philly, and Jerry from Boston. All had been sent the music in advance to prepare, but were purposefully kept apart.
“The whole point of this was to play it live,” says Jon. “It needed to be a real group dynamic, and it needed to be spontaneous.”
Unlike previous records, which were all done in his own Cohasset studio, this one was recorded and mixed by Randy Roos at Squam Sound in Ashland, NH. (Jon studied with Roos before and after his days at Berklee and they have since collaborated on several recordings.)
“Everybody arrived completely ready, already getting what I was trying to achieve. These were people I hadn’t work with before, so it was even more incredible. We really became a group within minutes. We set up shop on Sunday night and were ready to play first thing Monday morning.”
Durant is still amazed by the results and says he “couldn’t have imagined that it would have come together so spectacularly.”
