Hi, Im James and this is my personal journal. I have difficulty sometimes with words, so I wanted to keep a journal that wouldnt 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. Its 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. Check out other things I do at strangetextures.com.

Listen Now...
Emulsion of Mabon
Saturday, 11 April, 2026
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 on the physical media release Connector: Overtime Edition Inspiration for getting the website and words more sorted: this occasional society - for their excellent newsletter ATTKS TH DRKNSS - for their blog and talking about meanings in instrumental music Was Emulsion of Mabon a knock-off of the Wicker Man? A lot of people saw similarities in some of themes at least. A kind of folk-horror that was probably creepier, darker, and sexier but ultimately weirder and more abstract. Does anyone actually know what is going on most of the time in this film? The woods are majestic, the fires are numerous, and ultimately where you can read Edward Woodward’s death in the Wicker Man as generally horrible or a positive precursor to rebirth and future wellbeing, this ends as a true uplifting celebration. The darkness as a welcoming partner rather than something to be cautioned about.
