I am at least really decent at making thematic music and likely sound design too.

Hi, I'm Brendan James, (as the email says.) 

I live in seattle, just about downtown. 

Just putting feelers out there and compensation for someone low budget could be lunch one day or something for now. Or if someone with a budget really comes at me then we can talk I'm open to negotiations. 

I have my needs being met for the time being otherwise, and honestly my real goal is to just get more networking and educational avenues to learn more and master what I feel I already do a very good job at doing.  ( I think, but I leave others to judge the subjectivity of "art")

My only issue is lack of direction, and networking contacts, and being neurodivergent complicates this process. from the extent of my social skills to oftentimes peoples perceptions of me. I get a lot of, "i didn't like you at first's."  

I am high functioning but I suck at capitalism.  

I have a limited amount of allowed space to post my works on sites like soundcloud and bandlab unless I pay them, but maybe next month. Anything is pretty available that I have posted but i have a hard drive filled to the brim of partially made work, and just half made songs soundscapes i didn't want to post for both ego and spacial issues. 

I know this is probably unprofessional or unconventional or maybe entirely typical, I don't know.  I'm a straight forward person, and while I can mask sometimes, usually i just don't so you can count on my honesty and ability to probably overshare a bit, unless of course I'm TOLD that what I know should not be told.  Secrets are easy to keep I just gotta know ahead of time. (probably an overshare...)
I just have been making music all my life and finally started producing three years ago and at 38 I think I found something I can cook with. 

A lot of it is "just music," but i can pump out sounds all day when the bug hits me.  

Here are my links, I should probably make a linktree but eh....    

https://www.bandlab.com/brendanfnjames

I'd post my Youtube but I've got politics on there too and again I'm not good at capitalism... so ask me on inquiry.  I do have some videos but mostly rely on my own photography and art so it kills the networking when you do it all yourself.  

Song titles are often unimportant to me. If any are an issues they can probably be changed i have a organized chaos system of organizing. so sometimes the title is just "afkshfkd" or something.

Thanks for taking the time to hear me out.  

If I left anything out that needs clarified please ask and inquire.  I will give you an honest answer including "I don't know'" if i don't.  

Please contact through email address until I can get a burner number timing of which is depending on the response, also sometimes spam filters are a bit over zealous.  

(I've never used this platform but I have faith the email address is visible somewhere in here.. I hope.)

Cheers. 

Brendan James
