Brad Necyk x Jonathan Kawchuk as Studio Everywhen
An initial exploration together. A sketch for the future.
Jonathan and I founded Studio Everywhen in 2020 to create a series of films, music videos, audio-video installations, video game art, and virtual reality experiences about our relationship to the natural world.
Our work, ALL SKY, MIRROR OCEAN, premiered at MUTEK 2021.
In 2022, we are beginning a new Canada Council for the Arts-funded project. We are collaborating with dancer Vanessa Goodman (Action at a Distance Dance Company, Vancouver) on a dance film on mental illness. It will be a multi-year project.
Jonathan Kawchuk is a field recordist, sound artist, and composer from Canada. For his debut album, North (Paper Bag Records), all compositions were played back into the forests of Jostedal National Park, Norway, and re-recorded after reverberating around their natural surroundings. Jonathan is an alumnus of the Canadian Film Centre’s Slaight Family Music Residency, Banff Centre for the Arts Musicians in Residence program, Berlinale Talents Lab, and is a voting member of the Recording Academy (Grammy Awards). Evolution Music Partners represent him as a film composer and has scored multiple feature-length films, web series, and video features (including spots for Vogue Italia and Dior).
