Perelandra: Let’s begin with an introduction. Who is Positive Infinity? Where did they begin and where are they now? Jon: That’s going to be difficult to sum up. But here goes: We started in 2005, and by “we” I mean “I” started Positive Infinity. Initially it was my solo project; just me mixing things together and seeing how they sounded. It mostly boiled down to poorly mixed/recorded rock, jazz, and electronic fusion tracks when I started.

There were occasions where my brother Dave would help with music theory; other corrections; critique. Dave has made contributions in the studio throughout the years, but he has little patience for multiple takes at recording sessions, so he’s more of a live performance guy. I’ve always considered him a core member for these contributions – but it was mostly me doing the studio music from the start. Still, the Roberts brothers have always been the face of Positive Infinity. Along the way I picked up other artists that gave my music a much more jazzy and fusion sway. Brian Betancourt, a high school friend of mine, is most notable among those who influenced Positive Infinity toward jazz. Brian has been a great and regular contributor since ’05, and he is a phenomenal jazz musician. Harvey Summers of Broad Oak studios, in East Sussex UK, is also another big influence.
