James' Portfolio
This is a piece that I wrote and produced under my artist name, James Greenfield. This is a peaceful, deep, neoclassical track and is typical of several other songs I have written in this style.
This is an example of the more upbeat, dance music that I create. This particular track is a fusion of western dance beats and African sounds. The lyrics roughly translate as, 'hurry up, the beauty of the world'. I wanted to write something that tested me as a producer and that was accessible and uplifting.
I sometimes produce ambient music which has a deep, minimal feel to it. This track is an example of that which represents a journey into deeper states of consciousness.
