Ancient Future

In the realm of dark ethereal medieval nightmares, where ancient powers intertwine with sinister entities, lies the mystical world before "Savoirs Gate." This medieval fantasy horror film delves into the sinister depths of an otherworldly gateway, where a small village becomes the battleground between good and evil.

"Savoirs Gate" was composed using acoustic instruments, field recordings, modular synthesizers, and sequencers, sets the tone for this atmospheric and chilling journey. The music reflects the blend of medieval aesthetics and haunting horror, immersing listeners in the haunting landscapes and palpable tension of the film.

The soundtrack opens with, “Strega” a foreboding and enigmatic composition that captures the eerie allure of the gate. It combines the raw power of modular synthesizers with the ethereal beauty of a solo cello, creating a haunting melody that echoes through the night.

“Broken Spell” embodies the inquisitive and confusing moments after our protagonist awakes. Overcome with visions of a foreboding mysterious landscape, our protagonist dream is scored by a siren song that begins our heroes journey into the underworld where the duality of light and darkness, hope and despair, and the thin line between them, immerses the listener through a melodic maze towards Gate.

As the story progresses, the music evolves to mirror the various facets of the film's narrative. “Safe Passage” incorporates field recordings, interwoven with delicate acoustic guitar melodies, evoking the mysterious and treacherous forests surrounding the path to the Gate.

The film's climactic battle scene is accompanied by “Seventh Seal” an intense composition driven by a hypnotic bass line, polyrhythmic melody, and angelic strings.

Throughout the soundtrack, recurring motifs and musical themes tie together the disparate elements of the story, creating a sense of continuity and cohesion. The melodies, harmonies, and rhythms reflect the duality of light and darkness, hope and despair, and the thin line between them.

"Saviors Gate" merges medieval sensibilities with modern musical techniques, resulting in a haunting and immersive sonic experience. It underscores the film's supernatural themes, the struggles of its characters, and the pervasive sense of dread that permeates the story. Composed of acoustic instruments, field recordings, modular synthesizers, and sequencers, the soundtrack transports listeners to a realm where the veil between worlds is thin, and the forces of evil that lie in the path to the Gate.

Infinity Dream

https://jjjamesparker.bandcamp.com/album/solar-image

In 2023, I spent some time living above the Arctic Circle off the northern coast of Norway. Living in isolation on a island no more then 2km in radius, I spend my days collecting field recordings, composing new music, taking photographs, reading and writing. The purpose of the project was to capture images and sounds of the landscape to create a audio/visual experience that transforms the viewer/listener on their own meditative journey inward - 'Solar Image' is the first sonic incantation of a new audio/visual body of work. 

For this track, I have invited Dutch DJ, Producer and a label owner https://soundcloud.com/rambadu to interpret my field recordings and images to create a rework of 'Solar Image' titled 'Solar Image (Rambadu Thermohaline Circulation)' referring to the natural process when sea ice forms in the polar regions, leaving behind salt that makes the surrounding water saltier and denser. This denser water sinks, creating a current that moves slowly through the ocean. Thermohaline circulation (THC) is a large-scale ocean current system that moves water and heat, and is a vital part of the global carbon dioxide and nutrient cycles

"Influenced by the forces of nature, Rambadu celebrates the universal connection between beings and their surroundings. 

In recent years, he has researched the energetic powers and healing properties of sound, diving deep into the literature to better understand our inner and outer worlds.

Singing bowls, percussion, and various acoustic instruments are blended with hardware devices while modulating field recordings to create a sensual dance, taking you further into the sonic realms."
