Bio
Hi! I'm Javi James, an artist and specialist in sound and recording engineering. In 2023, I began exploring sound design and developing immersive music for architectural visualization and conceptual art projects. My first EP was MUTUS METEORA, for the Spanish VR visualization studio "SecondaryBounce." The technique I use involves taking defined sound elements and exploring new forms, without clear ideas. This deconstruction is what allows me to find something I may have been searching for, but didn't know it was. I work with analog and MIDI technologies in constant symbiosis.
The approach I take for these types of projects is oriented towards a narrative sensationalism, quite minimalist and respectful of silences. I pay close attention to sound quality, dynamics, and spatiality. I also play with dissonances, nuances, and unpredictable melodies. Sub-bass is a very characteristic feature of my compositions, thickening the soundscape and conveying its message. I also use quantization and tempo adjustments, which lend an underground, raw edge to the track. I don't like precision; for me, perfection lies in imperfection. Sometimes I'm a bit disrespectful of methods and theories, which, in reality, I know very little about.
I like to manage the entire production chain, from composition to mastering, and I do it all from the underground, with my humble home studio. I consider every aspect of the work very important, which is why I'm so meticulous about quality. The way I compose has led me to discover new styles of expression.
