James Lee is a guitarist based in the Seattle area. His playing is inspired by a variety of genres ranging from pop, electronic, to metal.
Composed of synthesizers, guitar, and electric kalimba, this is the second take from a semi-improvised performance recorded in Seattle on December 5, 2020. The goal of the recording was to create a seamless, dreamlike atmosphere; a juxtaposition to the uncertain and chaotic times we’re currently living in. Looped sequences, lush pads, and effected guitar flow throughout the recording in a structureless composition to evoke ethereal landscapes. The recording is dedicated to our late friend and amazing musician, Kevin Bontrager.
