Thanks for the shout-out, Jason!

Following an early 2022 US tour as keyboardist for Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains, JASON ACHILLES now divides his time as a touring multi-instrumentalist/music producer, orchestral composer, and “side gig” as an aerospace entrepreneur. Currently, he is developing a live touring planetarium show that will inspire the public through an unlikely personal journey from music to Space.

In 2017 Jason leveraged his audio expertise into technical consulting, joining forces with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, ultimately helping bring to Earth, on a day unbeknownst to planet Mars, the first sounds of the planet as recorded by the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover.

Concurrently he served as Principal Investigator for a 2020 NASA Flight Opportunities grant to successfully flight test his Lunar ExoCam remote rocket viewing camera tech developed with Honeybee Robotics. 

When not on the road performing live with his experimental ‘cosmic space-rock duo, he can be frequently spotted with his nerd friends attempting to capture high-fidelity audio from the numerous rocket launches at Vandenberg Space Force Base in Southern California (and not have their microphones incinerated).
