Jon Sorensen started his career as a film-maker in the miniatures and visual effects department on the original movie of "Alien" (Ridley Scott 1979). The film won the Oscar for best Visual Effects. His subsequent work included "The Empire Strikes Back", "Dark Crystal", "Excalibur", "Superman 2", and "Dragonslayer" and "Watcher In The Woods" for Disney and many assignments in television drama and commercials before embarking on his own film projects "A Return To Love" (1996), "Alien Blood" (2000). Sorensen signed his first non-exclusive record contract in January 2007 after only 2 months on the "socialising network" My Space. Occasional Free music samples will appear on this Site from time to time for various causes, charities and special events. Currently here is an entirely free downloadable album ALIEN 5 to mark the 30th Anniversary of the original Ridley Scott film. Sorensen retains a real regard and affection for Lulu.com. His very first music album, the original version of his very highly praised "Rendlesham Forest" (to be re-released in 2010 by Los Angeles label Solaris Records), emerged from Lulu in 2006. Working to incredibly high standards of production, Lulu has given voice to emerging writers such as science-fiction author John Coppinger, (whose novel TERTIARY began on Lulu). social campaigners such as Stanley Monteith, whose ORIGIN OF AIDS is available on Lulu. (Stan runs a tireless talk-radio station in Monterey Bay, California called Radio Liberty), plus the New York Times bestseller "The Shack", which first saw the light of day on Lulu, and the work of many emerging poets including British singer/songwriter Alan Obertelle. Other musicians who launched from Lulu have included the outstanding techno artist Clifton Getliffe/Soundlab, now recording with great and prolific success on the Electrogroove Label. Sorensen's album releases in 2009 included "JON SORENSEN'S WITCH SYMPHONY", "JON SORENSEN'S THE KEN RUSSELL" and "THE DEATH OF GRASS". He also composed the score for Dennis Lowe's two feature documentaries in 2009, "ALIEN MAKERS" and "ALIEN MAKERS 2", again to celebrate the anniversary of Ridley Scott's ALIEN. Sorensen will continue to make available the occasional full track free download plus free downloadable previews of his albums on Lulu.com, which continues to do a fantastic job for emerging talents.
