Synthetic Block
Jonathan Block has been recording and releasing electronic music for over 20 years. He created the term 'progressive ambient music' to describe his explorations of the ambient, space and progressive domains. Block was a founding member in 1983 of the musical collective the Objective Music Coalition with other musicians who were interested in developing an applied creative practice. He joined the emerging ambient/space music scene of the early 1990s, releasing a number of cassettes under his own Ironing Board Recordings imprint.

Block's first CD, Synthetic Block, was released on Mindspore in 1998. Subsequent CDs have been released on labels such as Gears of Sand and Hypnos. His music has also appeared on numerous compilations, and has been featured on many radio shows, including Echoes and Star's End. In addition to his solo works, Block has performed and recorded with Dave Fulton, APK and Ben Fleury-Steiner.
