I was inspired by a couple of things when I wrote this ambient drone song called Alienation. I had listened to Sylvian's breakup album "Blemish", while I was pondering the lyrics of Pink Floyd's "Time". It lead me to Wrongtool's excellent NODAL library and I laid down 5 tracks of moody bass strings. Every track was then mangled with Moogerfooger effects plugins to add even more grit and noise. I then wrote the lyrics, strongly influenced by said Floyd song and some of my own dark fears and feelings, and had them performed by Solaria (Synthesizer V plugin).

// lyrics on spanish (inspired in Carrie White from Carrie horror movie):
Telekinesis, Telekinesis, poder sin límites que no lo puedo controlar.
Durante años he sido controlada por la mentalidad religiosa
He estado presa de mis pensamientos
Siento una energía dentro de mí, un gran poder invisible, la Telekinesis
Telekinesis, Telekinesis, poder sin límites que no lo puedo controlar.
Romperé las barreras de lo que me imponen
dejaré de ser una chica tímida y cabizbaja
me graduaré con honores en la fiesta de sangre
ya no seré mas objeto de tus burlas
seré tu peor pesadilla infernal.

Heat In Waves - (naviarhaiku541)

The Battle of Passchendaele was a major World War I campaign fought by the Allies against the German Empire on the Western Front from July to November 1917.  It is widely remembered as a vivid symbol of the horrific fighting conditions, particularly the deep mud, and immense casualties for minimal strategic gain. The village of Passchendaele was eventually captured by Canadian troops on November 6, 1917, and the nearby ridge was secured by November 10, when the campaign ground to a halt. The advance was a mere five miles, achieved at an enormous cost of an estimated 275,000 to over 400,000 Allied casualties and around 220,000 to 400,000 German casualties. The ground gained was ultimately abandoned by the British in the face of a German offensive the following year. The name "Passchendaele" has since become synonymous with the brutal and often futile nature of trench warfare during the First World War.

Timeless Journey

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.
