James Brewster is an English musician, producer 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.
'As
a hovering insect mass breaks your fall' is his fourth album, and
the first to be released under his given name. It came out in March
2011 on the UK label Make Mine Music. The record features vocals
from James himself as well as - among others - Nick Talbot of Gravenhurst
and Albanian opera singer Egzona Gervalla. Read more about the album
