Yonatan has performed as a classical orchestral and chamber percussionist in venues including The Kennedy Center, the Jazz Standard and Carnegie Hall, and has had premieres of original works at venues including the Borishnikov Arts Center, the David Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center and the Peabody Conservatory.
Yonatan is the lead creative technologist for BodyMouth, an experimental body motion-reactive speech instrument designed by transmedia playwright Kat Mustatea, which was a finalist in the Guthman Musical Instrument Competition and is a current finalist for the Lumen Prize in the “Interactive Immersive” category. Other upcoming projects include Sonic Abstractions, an experimental interface/instrument that synthesizes noise from physical object data and vice-versa; and the interactive network for a real-time motorized light installation.
Yonatan worked with a small student-run team of designers and developers on the new public-facing ITP website and is currently developing a revised website for Harvestworks, an NYC-based digital arts and media organization which sponsors hundreds of yearly artists and performances. Yonatan has created several personal websites for artists, including conductor Gerardo Edelstein and the Trillium String Quartet, and is passionate about offering affordable, dedicated services for creative individuals and organizations.
Yonatan holds a Bachelor of Music degree from the Peabody Conservatory of the Johns Hopkins University and a Master of Professional Studies from NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP), where he completed a 1-year research residency and recently served as an adjunct instructor.
