Wait for it...
I think the one true mystery left in the world is music. Music is logical and emotional, formulaic and improvisational, practiced and intuitive. It can be analysed but not recreated since there is no explanation for its impact. Music, I believe, happened before language, and lives in a part of us that is from the Stone Age, or older.

About James Wiegand

Sound Explorer

In a search for understanding, the only requirement is curiosity.

Ambient music made in the Ozarks. I produce music using computer and hardware synthesizers, field recordings and found sounds. A lot of what you hear reflects my rural surroundings. I aim to explore various topics in a mock-serious style somewhere between Brian Eno and Frank Zappa. Lately I have been exploring my original interest, space music in the Berlin School vein.

I have a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering. My work experience includes systems administration for disaster recovery, banking, food service, marketing, internet services, and computer security. In the meatime, I have grown produce with my wife Diana and sold at the Mountain Home Farmer's Market.

Electronic music has always been close to my heart. I grew up listening to Diaspar and Star's End on WXPN, since the late '70's. To find an expression like the music I heard coming over the radio for myself has always been a goal for me.
