James Brewster is an English musician and sound-explorer currently living in Malmö, Sweden. His interests include field recordings, ultra-melodic song-structures, dense digital processing, cryptically evocative lyrics, improvisation, evolving counterpointed melodies, noise, intricate rhythm patterns, spoken-word, no-input, sound design, and spontaneous collaboration.

The album 'As a hovering insect mass breaks your fall' is the first to be released under his given name, and will be out in early 2010 on the Make Mine Music label. It features vocals from James himself as well as - among others - Nick Talbot of Gravenhurst and Albanian opera singer Egzona Gervalla.

He plays live regularly, often relying on improvisation to a greater or lesser extent, and appearing both solo and in collaboration with a wide variety of other artists. Performances often revolve around the real-time sampling and digital processing of sounds from a variety of different instruments and objects. His most regular live collaborator is Peter Henning, and as well as playing together the pair also co-organise a regular night in Malmö called Motvikt, focusing mainly on experimental, improvised and electronic music.

James has also worked on music for short films, creating soundtracks and sometimes performing these live to film screenings. His music has also been used for ballet pieces.
