James Whetzel
James Whetzel is a Seattle-based experimental composer and multi-instrumentalist known for genre-blurring work that dances between math-rock intricacy, global folk traditions, and conceptual art projects. His recent releases showcase a playful intellectual curiosity – whether scoring choreographer Nancy Scherich’s “math-dance” piece *Alexander’s Theorem*, crafting lo-fi remixes of Japanese pop (like *Oishii Keiki*), or diving into West African palm wine guitar textures on *Rhythmic Kaleidoscope*. Whetzel’s music often feels like a coffeehouse conversation between academia and whimsy, blending cerebral themes (see the cryptic *E.M.B.A.R.G.O.* diptych) with warm, approachable grooves. He’s become a quiet staple in Seattle’s interdisciplinary art scene, equally comfortable writing video game-adjacent themes (*Hex and Violence*) as he is soundtracking imaginary Parisian cafés (*Cafe Septieme*).
