Molly Jones’ practice incorporates improvisation and composition with saxophones, flutes, and electronics. Her work originates in a place of playfulness, listening, and attention.
Influenced by her experiences in jazz, new music, Balkan brass, and Scottish country dance ensembles; her fascination with found sounds; her work as a software engineer; and her ongoing participation in mindfulness communities, she has created electroacoustic pieces, chamber works, experimental theater performances, poetry, and video in addition to maintaining an improvisation practice. She performs with Chicago quartet Mad Myth Science.
“She has a total understanding of both acoustic and electronic sounds.”
– Joo Won Park
“The compositions are dense and exploit the full range of sounds offered by the unusual instrumentation.”
– Piotr Michalowski, Southeast Michigan Jazz Association
“The music is cerebral, but there’s enough whimsy to keep you guessing.”
– Sara Grosky, WCBN-FM
