Biography

As a child James Heather's Grandad taught him composition & how to manipulate the tuning of piano strings. Inspired by Ludwig van Beethoven Claude Debussy & his neighbour’s Acid House radio show, composing on piano became a passion. After a near death experience, he had the energy to step out as an artist. His art takes as much from electronic music in sensibility & post-rock in its meditative builds as it does its classical & jazz grounding In 2022 Heather released his 2nd album Invisible Forces. The album is about becoming aware of Invisible Forces around us to help deepen understanding of self & connection to the world. The tracks (alongside Modulations: EP2) were this time honed on the road, playing shows like Green Man, Glastonbury, Berlin Planetarium & more across Europe. His approach, that he dubs ‘Pulse Music’, finds him playing freely, with no notation but instead instinct deciding where things go. In 2021 he released 'And She Came Home - Strings Version' for @0 EP3 alongside Ryuichi Sakamoto Heather first released via Ahead Of Our Time in 2017, Ninja Tune founders Coldcut's label with Modulations: EP1, followed by the album Stories From Far Away On Piano. In 2018 he was remixed by DJ Seinfeld Mary Lattimore & Sarah Davachi for his Reworks album. Supporters include Cillian Murphy, Nils Frahm, Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder label & The Cinematic Orchestra, who asked him to rework them in 2020. He has worked with Dawn Richard & Roger Robinson (King Midas Sound)
