Wallflower in a different kitchen - diquiet0644

The cormorant in the forest;
The cherry blossoms
Along the evening path.

Tan Taigi was a haiku poet of the Edo period. He was a wanderer for most of his life and admired by Yosa Buson for his ability to transcend his eclectic and unconventional lifestyle with sublime poetry.

The Assignment: Make some daylight drones for Drone Day.

Step 1: May 25 each year is Drone Day, more about which at droneday.org. This Junto project begins before Drone Day, on the 23rd, and ends after, on the 27th. So, take Drone Day in spirit if not as a calendrical certainty.  

Step 2: Think about drones, and the tonality they suggest.

Step 3: Think about making drones that suggest daylight instead of, say, darkness.

Step 4: Record a “day drone” in light of the thinking you did in Step 3.

Silence & Tears: 17 Musical Short Stories

Emptiness Inside

396 Hz - Ocean of Serenity

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.

If you are interested in collaborating in any way, contact him!
