Oliver Harris kindly got in touch last year after seeing a great film I’d scored to ask me to come up with a mixtape; an hour or two of music/sound, old and new, that I felt had shaped me for his wonderful Nomad Discology series:

He’s done an mix of my selections, released today, you can hear it at The Nomad Discology Website and read about why I made the choices I did.

I really enjoyed putting it together, although as I say on the website, it was very hard to siphon the mix down as there’s so much music and sounds that have affected me in powerful ways over the years. Thanks very much for Oli for getting me involved, and here’s what he has to say about why he did! I hope you enjoy if you listen.

“Bringing in the New Year for Nomad Discology with a mix by the brilliant @jameswarburtonmusic

I first heard James’ work at @peckhamfilmmakers when showing ‘The Sun is up Forever’ by  @_charlenejones and was blown away by its dynamic and bold tones.

His scoring and his work takes influence from the worlds of drone, noise, ambient, electronica and contemporary orchestral creating an evocative unique sound world.

Thank you for the selections James, it’s a mix I felt really embodies the depth and darkness that a composer needs to find in their work so thank you for sharing them with us.”
