Projects
live at the knob
Knobworld is Jim’s intimate modern recording studio nestled in the hills of Echo Park in Los Angeles. For the past 20 years it has hosted an incredible variety of recording projects, from acoustic singer-songwriters and rock bands to modern operas, jazz ensembles, film scores and electronic music. Here a few videos of Jim and friends making music in the studio.
Simple Songs
A typical day of work composing entails a lot of time staring at the computer screen and endless mousing. These tunes are the antidote- quiet conversations between Jim and the piano.
synesthesia
Synthesizers and electronic music making have always been a core part of Jim’s musical voice. Here are some newer electronic tracks to check out. Included in this playlist are cuts from Jim’s album “Lil’ Blue Hat” which features Sam Gendel on reeds.
