Sunday Soak With James Sorrell

Dark Disco Noir by James & Tjewels is their live set perfomed on WaXLaB Music's annual Halloween Livestream on Twitch. 
www.twitch.tv/waxlab_music
This year for the show, all the residents from the WaXLaB Artist Collective decided to "RESURRECT" and bring some darker vibes to the show to compliment the Holiday! This one is alot of fun, travels through some dark mode, indie dance and disco noir. Thanks for listening and really hope you enjoy!

Dark Disko Noir By James & Tjewels

This has been titled a soundtrack over anything else. Yes it has a backbone and bed of dance music tracks but the entire project that Expediton has become involved more multitrack production and field recordings alongside several dozen sound design elements throughout the entire project. If your looking for a dj set to just dance to, this probably isn't for you. If your looking to melt into a multitude of natural ambiance and environments with some obscure under tones and trippy sound design, this is absolutely for you. Aside from the over two hour set recorded, there are over three dozen field recordings layered upon several dozen sound design elements to take you all on an expedition. Sure, it gets a little silly and probably weird at a moment or two, but I had fun with it!
I started this mix series years back in hopes to take the listener on a journey and I feel like this is pulling you into the mix deeper then it typically would. I really enjoyed working on this and hope you enjoy listening! 
Optimum listening experience would be in either a set of headphones or on some nice monitors. The stereo field gets wide at some points and the placement on some elements shifts around the stereo field. 
Cheers!

This is a sound design project I completed for a class project. The objective was to take a randomly selected still photograph and go out into the wild and utilize through field recordings, design the soundscape that was appropriate to the still image. Every seperate sound was recorded at 24bit 48kHz with an Audio-Technica AT825 Stereo Field Recording Mic and an Rode NTG2 Condenser Shotgun Microphone. Thanks for listening and keep your ears wide open! 

Crowded Street Sound Design

My sound design 2 class stepped into studio A with a few tubs and buckets full of random industrial percussion "instruments" and recorded the raw audio at 192kHz of anything and everything. One hits/shots, bass kick sounds, you name it. The final intension was to create an industrial percussion drum kit and then sequence a track. This is what I came up with in under a couple hours worth of editing and just over three hours of tracking in the studio. A few items tracked in studio were, pounding on the window and recording it with a piezo pickup, ballon blow ups and pops, saw blades and bows, hole saw blades and a screwdriver, cardboard boxes and buckets, steel bowls and pans, throat swallows and rock clicks just to name a few. Thanks for listening and keep your ears wide open! 

Sorrell Industrial Percussion Sound Design

This sound design project was delivered in one simple sentence. "It's getting hot in here." Based on our own interpretations, we were to identify what this meant to ourselves and compose a piece based on that. I tend to always go a little dark, what are your thoughts? 

It's Getting Hot In Here

I am so incredibly busy with the balance of being a husband, father, full time student and business owner that it seems work and school at times tend to consume me. My focus stays true because I have some of the most amazing local artists here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest to keep my ears content. I whole heartedly give credit to a local legend and Jedi Master, Wesley Holmes, for the track selection. I listen to so many of his mix tapes that I wanted to groom a handful of the tracks he has put to stellar mixes (check them all out please and support him) and create my own selfish mix. So a tip of the hat to you Wes as well as the long list of incredibly talented artists that feed my need on a daily. Here's a link to more of Wesley's body of work. https://soundcloud.com/wesley-holmes
Thanks for giving this a listen as well. Love and light to you all.

James Sorrell Live @ Rebel Bass - A Bounty Hunter Masquerade Ball

Greetings and thank you for following my music! This set was performed live at The Timbre Room in Seattle Wa. for Foolish Fridays Death Star Disco event. It was celebrating the release of the new Star Wars film Rogue One. I recently had the opportunity to get more in depth with the Traktor step sequencer built within the 2.11 update. This set is littered with layers of percussive elements throughout from within the step sequencer as well as remix sets and a hand selection of my recent favorite tracks. I had a lot of fun with this and look forward to getting better and better with my live sets incorporating more into my mix tapes than just mixing my favorite tracks. Native Instruments has opened up some seriously deep wormholes with the ability to dj with a step sequencer as well as remix sets and stem sets now. I can not wait to go deeper down this hole and hope you all enjoy! Thank you for your support!!

GZRZ @ DEPTH -  A Birthday Halloween Edition

It was an absolute honor to perform for Samsarafest 2018 opening ceremony for their "Sound of Silence" silent disco. On support and performing alongside my brother Mr.Linden and Jesse Blake. I wanted to utilize a handful of tracks that I have really been vibin and as promised to a lot of the dancers per their request, the live recorded set to commemorate  and celebrate an amazing weekend full of love, healing and positive energy. 
Samsara, a Sanskrit word, translates to the word journeying. Everything in this Universe is cyclical. It starts with a celebration, the birth of new beginnings and ends with a celebration, the experiences of our journey. And our commitment to life is to make the most of this journey of ours and grow through the experiences no matter how long or short. This is the Universal truth. 
Thank you for listening, I hope you enjoy!

Samsarafest - Sound Of Silence

A super moody back drop for all the shoppers at the March 11th 2018 Crystallography event held at the OmCulture here in Seattle, Wa. Thank you Michelle Ferris for the time on the decks to send your shoppers into another realm! This genre is something quite outside of my norm but I had a blast playing it and really have started to curate another set for the future! Thanks for listening!!

I had an urge to mix some tracks that have been calling to me for quite some time and I was lucky enough to press record. This kaleidoscope of tunes helped take me away, I hope it does the same for you as well.

James Sorrell - Kaleidoscope

I had the absolute honor of playing for my Cascadia NW Art & Music Festival fam this year and all I can say is it was purely magical. I arrived with a badass build crew to erect the entire backdrop for the event and that alone was one of the biggest feats of the week for me. Alongside playing with so many incredible artists and friends that I absolutely adore, this festival grounded me and sent me home buzzing from all of the heady vibes taken in over the span of that week. This is an extended set that was tracked back home in studio with additional songs mixed in that I had a seriously hard time eliminating during the live set. There is a copy of the live recording but I believe it was tracked in mono so I wanted to put something special to commemorate my time out in the woods with my family. Thank you for listening and I hope you enjoy. This one is truly special to me and will always be held close to my heart. Aho!

Cascadia NW Arts & Music Festival 2019 - River Stage (Extended Set)

This is the second hour of a four hour session that I played live for my sister Michelle Ferris and her amazing event Crystallography in Spokane Washington back in August 2019. I truly love being able to connect with whomever is listening and I feel the challenge in doing so is when a dj is playing to a multitude of diverse individuals and is able to grab them, pull them in and keep their attention, especially if the sounds are something other than what their used to even hearing. I had so many people walk up and ask me what I was playing and where they could find more. Right here y'all! I got you! In any case, this is a collection of electronic music that I have been dying to play at a slower tempo in a super chill setting. If you haven't been to one of Michelle's events and love collecting crystals and rocks and rad things of that nature, mos definitely pop into one because the djs playing there are going in places they don't normally travel. Its always a journey and I love to do this for anyone that has an ear for it. All my best! 
Love and  Light

Live @ Crystallography (Spokane Edition 2019)

Recorded Live on December 20th 2019 @ Yoroshiku Seattle, WA.
This set in its entirety has been uploaded without any editing. I had at first thought about cutting the set down because I kinda went in different directions around an hour and a half or so in but then said screw it, it is what it is and to just upload it for people to listen to. I had a lot of fun playing for Olivia and definitely started off with sounds I love to play. This is a night where the opportunity to play background sounds of whatever you feel and please exists and as much as I tried to stick to what I typically would have played, some interesting things happened throughout no doubt about it. Give it a listen and enjoy. 
Again thank you Olivia & the Yoroshiku fam!!
If you haven't had the pleasure, get in there and try the food. Ask for a recommendation on a  Japanese Whisky, you won't be disappointed. https://www.yoroshikuseattle.com

Yoroshiku Sessions with James Sorrell

Recorded live this night went into a lucid dreaming sort of moment and got a little weird. Absolute blast but I went there. Sometimes you need to detach in order to get sorted. You feel? This is the result of that process for me. Thanks for listening.

I was born an audiophile and have always been listening. When I was a young boy my safety blanket was a pair of old headphones and a gain knob within reach during nap times and still is after over four decades today. Theres nothing more comforting than sub sonic bass frequencies and a bouncing mid range sprinkled with a melodic high end to soothe any and every emotion. When it comes to music and audio in general, it has a way of carrying us off and elevating our spirits every single time we close our eyes and just listen. Tribal rhythm and drums is where it all started for me growing up as a local northwest native american. My tribal roots run deep and I incorporate my heritage into every set I play by layering in ethnomusic percussion, in a sense grounding my sound back to where it all began for me as a child. I am a fan of trippy, weird, spacey sounds and thats probably why I love sound design so much. Every chance I get, I am going to create a soundscape that takes you on an emotional and spiritual journey. I play music in hopes to make an immediate connection with my listener and help them to find ways to make a deeper connection within themselves. Music is my weapon against all of the chaos and animosity in this world that we live in. I hope to only elevate you while you give me your ears.
