Backward Through Time

"Ember" is an electroacoustic composition that serves as a sonic portrait of a profoundly inspiring period in my life. This piece reflects my time studying at the Gotland School of Composition in Visby in my early twenties. One of the most breathtaking places in Gotland is Högklint, a cliff reaching 48 meters above sea level located just south of Visby, offering a view of the Baltic Sea to the west and Visby to the northeast. Inspired by the image of this place, I created this piece. Through this composition, I hope to convey the deep connection I felt to both the place and a moment in time.

Ember

2nd mix of my latest track “Access”. Mixes nr 1 & 3 will be released as a 2 track single on most streaming platforms 8th of June (check link). 

Decidedly more Funky House than Techno here. The metallic FM style synth in intro is not the Subharmonicon (joins in towards end) but the Behringer Neutron, sounds a bit similar here though. Runs@128 bpm. Please listen on headphones!

Access II

Composition inspired by haiku by Ryōkan Taigu

out of my dreams
the distant croaking

Vincenzo, aka El Wud, is an electronic musician from Naples, Italy.

A regular participant in the Naviar haiku music challenge, El Wud uses sound overlaps, causal collisions and cosmic echoes to create evocative soundscapes.

Naviar's Marco translated Vincenzo's haiku from Italian, and made some minor variations.

Kyorai was a Japanese haiku poet who first trained as a martial artist before he started writing and became one of Basho’s first disciples.

This is one of Kyorai's most famous poem, and one that Natsume Sōseki used as an example of great haiku poetry when teaching at a high school in Kumamoto.

James is a multi-instrumentalist creator of music as well as a contemporary artist. He plays stringed instruments (guitars, cello, ukulele, bass, etc.) and uses a midi controller for any instruments he doesn't have access to; such as a timpani or a glockenspiel.

James creates music that is inspired by the pure love and joy of making music. The style of music he creates varies from piece to piece. He will go from songs that are accompanied by guitar or ukulele to full arrangements of a traditional North American band to orchestral scores that you could easily hear backing a film or video. 

By browsing his music you're likely to come across traditional pieces of music sounding as old as time and other pieces sounding as new as yesterday's jingle. 

Instruments inspire him to make new sounds come together to form music and combining old and new sounds is something he very much enjoys exploring.

While music and sounds are a big part of James' personality so is making art, graphics, and videos. James has worked professionally as a technical illustrator/graphics specialist since 1991. So James almost always creates art specifically for each piece of music he puts out into the world. The art may or may not be directly related to the piece of music in context but it will definitely give you another perspective on how the music has inspired him or makes him feel.

To learn more about James and/or see his art seek him out on Instagram.com and YouTube.com; he’s easy to find if you spell his name correctly.  A pseudonym also being used by James is Mildred Stain.
