I’ve commissioned Jamie as a composer and sound designer on several animated short films, where he adapts seamlessly to each project’s specific genre, finding an array of custom creative solutions. Jamie is not only inventive and musically versatile, but also friendly and able to adapt to different budgets with a genuine interest in elevating a film’s story. He’s been a thoughtful and creative collaborator on the projects we’ve worked on together.

James is a phenomenal artist. Having worked with James on a handful of projects, his ability to understand and capture my creative visions never fails to astound me. He manages to create breathtaking soundtracks that hold feeling and tell stories in equal parts to anything visual. He is hard working, congenial and an indescribably talented individual. Working with James has consistently felt like an absolute privilege. ’

James Longcake is a highly talented composer and instrumentalist; in his scores for film and media he skillfully brings together acoustic and electric instruments with synths to produce music that is dramatic and often sensuous, with very beautiful orchestrations and harmonies.
