Welcome to my world.
After 8 years on here, I thought maybe it’s time I formally introduced myself. I’m Jamie, a composer, producer, sound artist, musical explorer, and ‘brilliant recluse’ / curmudgeonly hermit - depending on mood and how close to lunchtime it is. From the cutting edge of British experimental music to "Gaelic noir™", long-form maximalist chamber punk, and even occasionally “the Pops”, I love exploring musical hinterlands, backwaters, slums and cathedrals - my career thus far has been anything but ordinary.
You've likely heard my work—I’ve composed music for theatre, dance, film, TV (BBC, Channel 4, 6 Music), and radio. I also spent years bothering guitar as half of the cult avant-punk trio Misterlee.🎸
Since 2011, I’ve been the co-owner of St Mary's Space, a recording studio run from our havershambling church home, offering a peaceful refuge for likeminded musicians/co-conspirators, where chaotic and mystical energies of creation are harnessed and unleashed on the world (weekdays 9-5 only). 🏡🎶
Got a weird, wonderful, or boundary-pushing project in mind? Get in touch. The weirder the better—my creativity thrives on the unusual…
Dive into my wildly varied sound world and prepare to be moved, surprised, and immersed.
Share the love, if you have any for me👇and Mum, please don’t comment again. It’s embarrassing.

It was an absolute treat capturing Roo & Neil's musical wizardry earlier this year for this fabulous collection of tunes.
Check the album out on bandcamp tomorrow, and come see them here in concert on Sept 11th.....

‘Play it Again’ launches at midday tomorrow on bandcamp! In this live double-album we’ve shone a light on our love of tunes, playing them without prior arrangements and leaving space for the melodies to speak for themselves.

It was a total joy to record in the wonderful acoustics of St Marys Space back in May and we can’t wait to share the music live in concert this month! Check out our website for more info.
