Check out this new song written by my friend William Gittens featuring different Berklee artists, It's dedicated to the state of our world and the destruction in Japan.
Take a minute to watch and send your thoughts to the troubles of this planet…
You have some BEAUTIFUL melody lines! Would love to hear a studio production of this...especially if you can contain the same energy level that you can feel on this recording (that's the trick, eh?).
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode

THE CHILD WITH THE BEAUTIFUL NAME
What remains of an eagle that's fallen
The roots of an oak tree now claim
To draw sap for the shade for the cattle
O're the child with the beautiful name
The law…
I first heard this song yesterday when I was listening to you reading "I bury my dead", and I immediately loved it. I'm sure I would have loved it without hearing the story too, but it sure adds a lot of meaning and depths to it.
Great work, James!
You are the master of minimalism! Great work.
Just one note: The music ends somewhere around 2'50, but the length of the mp3 is 4'48. Wrong locator settings during the audio export?
With a new series of DR Who I thought I would have a go at the theme tune. no samples in this all my own work except for the vocal.
would love feedback. I am pleased with it

Nice one. Great lyrics too.
Gabriella has a bright future as a vocalist... pretty much gives the Marlyn Munroe version a run for its money.
Wow...great lyrics...and such an amazingly original take on melodies and harmonies. You have a new fan in me.

Very nice. Would probably sound great with vocals too.
Dark...moody...atmospheric and picturesque. Layers...depth. I'm liking this.

Hey, that's an unexpected style from you. Nice old-school (60s) feel.
You are a proof for my conviction that a good lyric is a requirement for a good song. All your lyrics are great IMO, and so are your songs.
Trippy, chill and spaced out...just I like it. Nice.
Nice work! Diggin' the deep, dark, dub-step vibe. Fat sounds.
You've really got the "chilled-out-cruise-through-the-celestial-ether" vibe down, man. Launch me out there!
