james pearson art and music ..pearsonart

Many people have asked me to post my original music on the site. I've been writing and recording at home since purchasing a tascam 4 track cassette recorder in 1986. I began making music on my laptop in 1999 with a powerbook wallstreet, which I still use. 

The songs available here were recently recorded with Ableton Live and Tracktion on my mac mini. I made the samples entirely of manipulated acoustic & effected guitar, found object percussion and nano orchestral snippets from old vhs recorded movies and tv shows. I don't use any commercial sample libraries or sound synthesis.

Have a listen. Collect them all. Please feel free to distribute. All I ask is that you credit me and plug the site.
