Jason has composed for many of Canada’s finest ensembles including Pro Coro Canada (Edmonton), Esprit Orchestra (Toronto), Vancouver Chamber Choir, Amabile Choirs (London), Christ Church Cathedral Choir (Montreal), and the Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra.
His compositions have been featured on CBC national television and radio, and in concerts across Canada and in the United States, Argentina, France, Belgium, and Italy.

Jason’s research interests focus on the perception of meaning in music, and have recently focused on the way music evokes spatiotemporal images and ideas.

A member of the Music Perception and Cognition Lab at McGill, he presented his research on sound mass perception and auditory streaming at the Ligeti Symposium and Festival at Florida State University and at the International Conference on Music Perception and Cognition in Seoul, South Korea.
