ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Hi, I’m James and this is my personal journal.
I have difficulty sometimes with words, so I wanted to keep a journal that wouldn’t involve them. Instead I try to communicate by improvising a piece of music every week.
Some call it ambient and post-rock. It has things in common with those, and others. Abstract and impressionist, it changes.
It’s me, recorded most often in a moment and not repeated, it contains all the happy accidents* that occur with this sort of thing. It often has a soothing effect and is meant to be listened to, but can work in the background.

Time to talk about (and then play), each track in the second half of the album.
The album is out now!
Now let’s try something more different for me. I’m going to talk about, and then play, each track on the new album.
I didn’t want to overload anyone or make the episode too long so I’ve split in into two episodes - Side One and Side Two. Because I’m old and full of whimsy today.
I thought I’d tell you the story of the Useless Tree as we get into what the new album is about.
I’m about to release a new album. For a change I thought I’d try talking about it a bit. I’m easing into it with this episode.
Some news that I think warrants a bonus episode!
I’ve improved the website so you can now get news through email or RSS instead of having to listen to me
I have a track on the just released Four Seasons of Bonk Wave Autumn Waves 1 album
That track is also on my Broadcast EP and some of that is…
East Berlin 1961
This is just a blank postcard. The picture is Westminster Abbey.
I don’t think I’ll be getting anymore of these, it feels like it’s time to go. Take care folks.
Some behind the scenes notes, getting ready to wrap up Season 6, thoughts about social media, and some recommendations.
Last episode comes out on Tuesday, and then there will be a break before anything new arrives.
The website I mention for Ben Barlett (Vera composer amongst other things): https:…
Prague 1933 and 1973
If there were a way to abandon words completely, I would be tempted. Perhaps I’ve had a life already, or one still to come, as a mute monk.
But it is not possible for me at the moment. Instead maybe I could abandon serious words for the majority of time and interactions?

Toronto 1906
I met an interesting chap today. All uncomfortable urgency in movement. Ideas burst from him as a force. Like a conduit, desperate musician.
They called all critics the enemy of human expression and claimed to work for a system that builds laws to ensure that those who fit what so…
