Most of this works is sketches and ideas. Some old, some new.  Enjoy.

Music is my pumpkin pie.

Fictions is an existential and musical thought project from the mind of Jeffrey James, a neo- surrealist, songwriter, and conceptual artist based in Minneapolis, MN. For much of the last decade, the Jeffrey James sound has evolved into “spook folk;” a genre that he invented to describe his own style of haunting avant-rock, psych folk, and experimental music.

His newest EP, “Music for Ghost People” is the work of a dark troubadour, covering themes of meaningless and disillusionment but overall hopeful and poignantly beautiful, much like the feeling of waking up from a dream and slowly realizing everything is the same as it ever was. “Moderately Effective” in particular, as the hazy, layered vocals syrup out non-sequiturs that seem to come straight from dream logic, “I don't know why trying is like now/ I don't know why I cant walk forward”

“Kids” is by far the darkest and most haunting track, beginning with the lilting sound of piano, and what sounds like the hiss and crackle of an old answering machine recording in which the artist laments in elegiac voice, the death of the muse in the face of a society that is swallowed by the facade of imposed reality, which is a fiction in itself. Here he speaks in free verse form, “It's not a game of hiding as long as you can/It's a game of realizing that you are hiding”

Aside from writing music , Jeffrey James is currently working on a series of a conceptual art projects. The first one, called “Nails,” explores what the fiction of image means to the online viewer.

Began playing piano since I was 4. I’m a serious person when it comes to music, memes, and video games. Also movies too (lol).

I wrote lots of music then I stopped 
coz life got on top 
then someone came along 
who turned the music back on 
and now it feels a bit Pete tong 
(Rhyming slang for wrong) 
not to share the songs 
that come along 
So now I’m writing lots more 
and sharing them of course ￼
And Of this course 
I am the horse 
who will propel you past the winners post 
of  musical discourse so that your ears and brain are forced 
To revisit it again 
until it’s burned into your brain 
and it’s absence leaves to drained

There is no better place to begin than where I am right now. After more than twenty years of listening, hearing, and inhaling sound, I have reached a point in time where I am prepared to exhale.

My intention is to reveal moments along my path, rather than any form of "polished product."

I am most interested in my intimate experience of the act of creation, rather than with its outcome.

This account is one tool I will use to practice the act of release; to offer sketches and audible signposts along the way, rather than waste energy in self-criticism and judgement.
