My goal is to create sonic landscapes that capture the listener and take them to unknown places while building and maintain a secondary (musical) world to keep them immersed and actively engaged within it. Music should be inherently enjoyable to listen to, yet provide enough tension to keep it interesting enough for active listening. I also try to tell an aural story or narrative that blends Electronic Music’s past with its present.

By using real-world environmental samples, I seek to anchor the listener to something that is familiar and immersive. Curiosity compels a deeper level of listening which helps develop, build and sustain the secondary world.

My stronger influences are 70s and 80s electronic and progressive musicians such as Brian Eno, Vangelis, Edger Froese, Klaus Schultze, David Sylvian, Holger Czukay, Popol Vuh and Pink Floyd, as well as more recent artists such as The Orb, Aphex Twin, Future Sound of London, Mathias Grassow, Steven Wilson, Bass Communion, Explosions in the Sky and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. There are unabashed references and homages to these artists and (many more) which is consistent with the post-rock approach to modern music.

I grew up in a home where music was loved and the radio was always on, which gave me early exposure to a variety of genres including jazz, classical, contemporary, pop and rock. Playing musical instruments throughout my early and middle-school years, allowed me to became proficient in several woodwind instruments, the electric bass and manipulation of reel-to-reel tape recordings. The exploration in creating experimental tape effects had a large impact on my current musical expression.

Soulful indie electro, drum and bass music and anything else I can find the time to write! James Scanlon: Australian Man of Mystery. Or, well, less mystery, more blinding neon shirts that stop you looking too closely. A man of many talents: he dances (like a giraffe on crutches); he sings (mostly in the shower); he’s a one man version of Stomp (apologies to the neighbours) – but somehow, he’s still the man you’d happily introduce to your parents. In small doses, anyway. Absolutely incorrigible, unendingly enthusiastic and completely unstoppable with his typical downunder 'ew beaut' approach to life, love and above all music.

It's easy to fool around with sounds in Ableton, but surprisingly hard to export a final mix that sounds good enough to play out.

Mixitecture is here to help you get the music out of your head and into the speakers, with a global community of producers and a completely new kind of Ableton tutorial.  

These are hands-on Guided Ableton Projects where you learn by DOING IT with instructions, examples and activities built into each session.

Sign up for the monthly Session Lessons™ and find out for yourself how much fun these are.
