Hang On

Composition inspired by Haiku by Enomoto Seifu

Lull in the rain…
Drifting into the bedroom
A butterfly!

Lull In The Rain

Lull In The Rain - (naviarhaiku501)

A percussion-only track made as an attempt to capture the spirit of the hypnotic rhythms of drum circles I've been part of. 

If you like it, feel free to use this track, DL should be on, and I offer it free under a creative commons attribution license. Please credit me (Jeffrey A. Trott) if you do use it. Contact me if you'd like a more raw and uncompressed version.

I'm only about 95 percent satisfied with the mastering, so I may re-master this in the near term.

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.
