James Guymon
Composer/Sonic Alchemist
ABOUT
i’m a classically trained composer, violinist, and violist. basically that means i’ve been hit over the knuckles with sharpened rulers since i was a young child by famous musicians with scarred, mangled knuckles of their own.
i’ve written music you’ve heard, and hopefully you didn’t notice it. unless it was in a concert hall, in which case that would be a bad thing.
i write for money. if you have some i’d like to trade my services for it. i also write for myself (concert/art music) and hope people are listening.
i care a lot about music as an industry and about musicians as a community and serve as the VP of the Composers Guild of America. i am also a voting member of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, and a writer and publisher member of ASCAP.
LABORATORY XLII
Laboratory XLII functions as my personal writing studio when i am on a project, and is available for hire (under controlled conditions) when i am not.
the ProTools based studio is home to a vast collection of instruments including a rare 1908 Steinway ‘O’ model grand piano and world instruments collected from extensive traveling abroad.
i enjoy supporting other artisans, and much of my equipment is custom made or modified by the greatest minds in the industry today.
