Bio
John Secunde is a musician from Limerick, Maine. Drawing inspiration from words, numbers, nature, sights, and sounds, he makes and writes music that combines finely-crafted transparency with playful seriousness.
John performs on electric guitar, toy piano, and, on one occasion in Ecuador, triangle. With Jared Yackiw, he is half of art-rock outfit Listening Box. John and Gina Marie Falk are cofounders of Saint Boneface, an ensemble dedicated to fusing indie and contemporary classical music.
Under the name Autoglass, John makes experimental/explorative music, involving contact mics, field recordings, and general sonic tomfoolery.
Across his various endeavors, John strives to embrace a DIY attitude, because if you don’t do it, who will?
When he is not creating, John enjoys reading, finding wheat pennies, going down Wikipedia holes, and long walks - if possible, up a mountain. He lives in southern Maine with his wife Abbey and puppy Charlie.
He holds degrees from SUNY Fredonia and the Longy School of Music.
