JAMES C SWARTZ

Bio

I've created a collection of moods and song progressions that have run thru my head my entire life. Lovely to be able to "write" them down using Ableton Live. I perform all the guitar parts on mostly a Kiesel Osiris 6X and Vader 6, Ibanez JS (2450/1CR) types, plus a Strandberg Boden Metal. They are processed directly thru a Fractal Audio AXE FX III. I also play most keyboard parts using a Roland RD-300NX, a small Roland JD-Xi mini-synth, Ableton Push 2, or via Ableton Synth VST plug-ins (Omnisphere, Trilian, Arturia, and Serum for most). I use near exclusively the Addictive Drums 2 plug in for percussion, their mega supply of rhythms and beats are the inspiration for most songs, love! Though I actually started out in my childhood playing drums for a few years, my love was for the guitar and I never became very drum proficient...electronic it is then!
