The gate shuts
with a loud groan
The temple sleeps

Summer Sky/ Watersnake (naviarhaiku507)

This weeks Haiku challenge was inspiring from the moment I read it and I just knew I had to make something. 
I've had a busy week but had an idea a few days ago and followed it to this point.  I'm very happy with sounds I've made, I created a texture and feel that is new to me.  I made use of a lot of Spitfire Audio VST for this, cello and bass sounds and celeste and other sounds. The rain comes from a field recording I made some years ago in my ongoing recordings of 'storms' - see my recent LIFEFILES album for more of the same...  https://mortalitytables.bandcamp.com/album/lifefiles-lf11-the-naming-of-storms

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.
