about

My first release of 2018 - Winter Came. A small collection of improvised pieces with the intent for Meditation and other mind relaxing activities.
I hope to give a tool and space for you to relax too, something to heal your mind. I want to bring your mind peace and give you some value!!!

I always find Winter hard, it's a time of cold short days, difficult for busking in the UK and the overriding darkness gets me down. Meditation has helped in these times massively - which is how these recordings came about, all performed in times where I needed to escape and clear my mind - music, my medicine - and just let out some emotions with ambience.

These tracks helped me clear my mind and set some intentions for 2018:

I intend on releasing and making a lot more music, recording and documenting absolutely everything I do, and putting it somewhere for you to find!
I have a few collaborations lined up which will involve travelling and busking around countries - Spain and the Netherlands - so this will be both a lovely adventure and a music learning curve, lots of improvisation and lots more recordings!
With that I generally want to do more travelling and eventually move into a converted van, a space I can live and create music in on the go - to tour around Europe and ferry to Australia.
I feel 2018 is going to be an insanely productive year, my mindset and belief are strengthening by the day - this is massively helped from: meditation, listening to motivational speakers/TED Talks daily, reading a lot more self-help books and spending more time away from negative sources (TV, News, Computer Games).
I've also started a new project - an extension to my current performing set-up - playing guitar and bass simultaneously whilst singing. I haven't a name for the set-up just yet. It all happened by accident, but a very happy accident indeed and I've found a real love for it. There will be some demos released here soon!

Welcome to the new year everyone! I have a positive feeling about 2018, and I wish you all the best, may it be a year filled with stronger connections, more positivity and love, many magic moments with those you love and complete strangers and just general awesomeness!!

Thank you so so much for visiting my BandCamp page and checking out my music!

All the best,

Keep following your heart,

Love from James x
