James Sudakow

About Me


In January 2007, James completed his first solo all instrumental CD – GREEN - in which he created a unique sound – heavy and ambient – combining post progressive melodies, modern alternative rock, electronica, and the uniqueness of the electric violin.
In January 2009, James released his second all instrumental CD - THERE IS NO SOUND IN SPACE – collaboratively with UNDER RADIO guitarist, Eric Zimmermann. This release continues to feature the electric violin in many styles and textures in tandem with electric guitar work and incorporates a heavy dose of industrial electronica.
James has been featured in Music Connection, Progression Magazine, Relix, Jazz Magazine ( Italy ), and Strings/Teen Strings Magazine. His music has received critical acclaim from numerous progressive rock and mainstream music magazines, websites, and e-zines nationally and globally and has been featured on compilation CDs produced by Relix, The Progressive Rock Hall of Fame, Jazz Magazine (Europe), and MuseGroup ( Europe ). James’ music has also been used in MTV programs and has received radio play on a significant number of CMJ, progressive rock, and electronica radio programs. In addition, engaging high energy live shows with his trio in clubs and at music festivals have earned him high praise.
