Referees:
Nathan Seedhouse - Game Director (Steel Arts Software)
I worked with James for 4-5 months employing him to work on my game, Welcome to Hanwell. In this time, not only did he produce an atmospheric, engaging and incredible original soundtrack. He went above and beyond the role he was assigned and helped with many other aspects of development.
It was rare I had to give direction but when I did it was taken on board and he always delivered. Creating music that perfectly complimented the mood and tone I had set in the game, and in fact, many times he created music from nothing but a brief, which the rest of us would then use as inspiration in development.
I couldn't recommend James as a composer highly enough. Just listen to the work, it speaks for itself.
Swantje Wenz - Animation Director
Working with James has been a real pleasure. He’s a skilled music composer and sound designer, bringing his own ideas and suggestions to the project. He is passionate and enthusiastic about his work, very reliable, a good communicator and delivers on time. If your looking for an audio ace on your next project James is a great choice.
Aaron Gardner - Head Of Design (News UK)
James has proven time and time again that not only is he an expert in his field of Composing/Sound Design but he is a consistent, reliable and friendly person to work with. He takes into account the exact requirements for the task and projects them superbly within his music.
I would recommend James to anyone, he is a versatile Composer/Sound Designer and likes to think outside of the box which gives his work the edge that is needed in today's highly competitive market.
