Artist/Producer/Engineer

Kohlten James has always been passionate about music and has been playing various instruments since he was a child. He started writing his own songs when he was just 16 years old and has been honing his craft ever since. His first album, which was released in 2020, received mixed reviews from critics and fans alike. However, Kohlten didn't let this discourage him and instead used it as motivation to work even harder on his music.

Over the past two years, Kohlten has been working tirelessly on his upcoming project, What If You Fly? The album is set to be released later this year and Kohlten is confident that it will be a huge success. He has poured his heart and soul into the project and believes that it is his best work yet.

What If You Fly? is a deeply personal album that explores themes of love, loss, and self-discovery. Kohlten's unique blend of indie pop and hip-hop is sure to captivate audiences and leave them wanting more. He has already released a few singles from the album, which have received positive feedback from fans and critics alike.

Kohlten is excited to finally share his new music with the world and is looking forward to going on tour to promote the album. He hopes that his music will inspire others to follow their dreams and never give up on their passions. Stay tuned for more updates on Kohlten James and his upcoming album, What If You Fly?

My music ranges from Punk to Eastern to Folk to Riff Rock to Reggae, with touches of Jazz, Hip Hop, Swing, and of course some Blues.

Except for a few covers, all songs are written and composed by myself. I play all of the instruments on all of these tracks (except for the occasional guest on violin). 

SONGWRITING PROCESS: Most of this material came out of thin air. It is all recorded in one take (or occasionally two) sessions, using very basic recording equipment. I often start by recording these spontaneously improvised sessions on guitar. Working with whatever I get on the first or second take, I then add vocals and other instruments, including bass guitar, additional drums, and synthesizer sequences. The first phase of recordings began in early 2012 in Hollywood, and ended in the fall of 2013. The second phase began in early 2015 at Watts Passage (with incredible acoustics).
All of my tracks are essentially live sessions with live over-dubs recorded on the first or second take. The reason behind this methodology is that it is expedient and has a "live" feel. These are spontaneous recordings. 

RECORDING TECHNOLOGY:  There are no ProTools being used here. This is about as basic as it gets. Most of my raw material is recorded onto a simple $25 micro recorder (like the ones students use to record class lectures). Once I record a part, the data is put into a basic video editing program that allows me 4 tracks for audio editing. I usually record and edit the tracks very quickly.

INSTRUMENTS: The electric guitar parts are played on a Carlo Robelli with the same type of three pickup, active electronics found on a Paul Reed Smith. I play through a Crate Amp and run everything through the famous Korg ToneWorks Pandora, which enables me to change tunings, program beats, and achieve virtually any sound. On several songs, I even make the guitar sound like a Sitar. I get lots of colorful harmonics and over/under-tones that add layers of depth to the songs. 

The acoustic guitar parts were all played on an old acoustic/electric Mitchell with extra thin strings. I also play an Oud and a Bonsori used on a couple of tracks.

Many of the drum and bass parts were programmed, but I play a borrowed bass on some tracks (like "Stupid Fool").  I have a basic Pearl Export Series drum kit that I often use to lay down some steady beats that can be looped for recording the guitar parts over. Virtually every song features a hand drum (made in Montana by the Drum Brothers). There is also the occasional timpani, sleigh bell, and tambourine.

VOCALS: I am someone who connects with the music more than the lyrics of a song, so my vocal parts are often just a suggestion of the harmony. The lyrics for songs like "Goodbye Lou" and "I Would Love" just seemed to come to me from out of nowhere. On other tracks I have struggled to try to find some lyrics, and nothing worked. Thus, over half of my songs are instrumental.

This is my music.
Enjoy and share.

🇺🇦 Wnʞləʍ.... many thx 4 dropping by 🆗

Telling about us - tonux.gix is a mixed team. We gradually make our 3d-enviro and other projects. Music will wonderfully complement a virtual environment when we'll share it. Today music by itself can't be popular as previously. Great artist, Andy Warhol long time ago said these words about 15 minutes of popularity... That's why we gradually do it all from different sides - network projects and artistical ones. We will get our chance when we join all together. At the moment we just enjoy the process:) It doesn't matter what we do, it is always some artistic search for us. We spend our time in this way - we don't play someone's provided game, just play doing own game (https://nuxproject.blogspot.com/), if it possible to say like this... 

This channel looks poor... We almost don't give attention to it because that gigantic project - this 3d world takes a lot of time. Music isn't the main what we want to do in our lives. But still we can make not bad sounds. We feel free with most powerful creative software and we use ardour, muse and oth. as pure data or supercollider. Not all of them are available for ordinary windows-users... We even experiment with interactive non-linear music, it's when musical piece doesn't exist as a linear soundtrack. It's music, which changes in dependence of who and how listens it, so there's never no single outcome. But as Derek Sivers wisely advised, "you should have kept your mouth shut" on the subject of your goals and plans: ted.com/talks/derek_sivers_keep_your_goals_to_yourself.html

But here we show our usual tracks. These are tracks which we prepared as sources for collabs, our old music searches and soundtracks for vids, which shows our 3d virtual enviro in progress. You can watch full series of these videos here: https://www.youtube.com/user/NUX1I And more about uz: http://blotproject.blogspot.com/ It would be really interesting to search creative people for collabs here. Please listen, comment and rate. Welc☮me dear friends, I l☮ve y☮u!

don't worry I'll be around 🖤👑
