About Me

I’m Aaron Demby Jones. I improvise, build tools, write things down when they bother me, and teach.

Music: Piano since age 5, from classical to free improvisation. Also drums, violin, guitar. I’ve recorded albums and work with digital audio synthesis.

Visual Art: Inspired by generative systems and built from creative coding tools like p5.js.

Tools: I like to tinker to try to create solutions to niche problems—like hacking iPhone shortcuts into Rube Goldberg machines. If a tool seems like it might help others, I flesh it out and share it with the world.

Writing: Analytical takes, weird observations, occasional jokes. I think about structure a lot.

Teaching: Math, piano, and chess, mostly. My philosophy is rooted in play and exploration.

The work here often crosses categories: Sound & Vision, Systems & Tools, Provocations, Practice & Pedagogy.

Open to collaborations, commissions, and interesting projects. Reach out if you want to work together: aaron.demby.jones@gmail.com
