About Me

My name is James Wilson and I am a 25 year old, self taught guitarist from Wigan in the northwest of England, although I now live in Manchester. I also play guitar in the band VICTORIAN DAD . I am currently in the process of writing/recording a LOT of new material that I will be posting up on here as soon as it is finished. All the tracks on this page were recorded in 2005, directly into a minidisc recorder by myself, except "Friends" which was recorded in November 2004 direct into a computer on my own. Hope you enjoy the music :)

If you are going to add me as a friend, please send me a message before hand as I'm not really into adding people and then never speaking to them. Don't worry, i don't bite :)I recorded the soundtrack to a film by my friend, Horatio . You can watch the film here: From Death to Image


You can also watch a live video of me playing over the film at a night called, "Fiasco":

Here is another film/sound installation that aims to disrupt common sensory perception entitled, "Breathe" by my friend, Horatio . The music is from a piece also entitled, "Breathe" that I recorded myself. You can watch the film here:Breathe


Thanks a lot

Jimmy

P.S. Sorry if it takes while for me to add you/respond to your messages, my internet time is very limited. I will however try my best to respond as quickly as possible x
