Jez riley French – field recordist, composer, artist.

Having been active in contemporary music & the arts for over three decades my work has been performed, exhibited and published widely across the world. In recent years I have been artist in residence with organisations in Estonia, Belgium, France, Portugal, Latvia, Italy, Japan, Korea & Austria.

I am fascinated and passionate about the infinite detail and expanding vistas of life around us, its sights and sounds, often overlooked or hidden. My creative output focuses on this never ending, joyous exploration and has increasingly involved elements such as audible silences, active listening, stillness & the empathy of compositional lines.

James works as a creative composer and sound designer as part of running his audio and multimedia production company Helical Blue. His musical and sound influences are wide ranging. James also has an extensive knowledge of field sound recording which supports sound design work. He is always interested to collaborate on wildlife related film. Credits include: “Beauty and the Parasite” 2010 (music, sound design and narration) and various contribution to wildlife video trailers and showreels. James routinely produces music, sound design and voice-over to picture in other areas such as documentary, corporate and training video.

I have recently successfully completed a BA Hons Degree in Sound Design at Ravensbourne. The course developed my skills in recording, mixing and designing sound. I have worked on numerous projects including, but not limited to documentaries, short film, TV pilots, animations, installations and radio shows.

In the past two years, I have begun to combine my lifelong passion for natural history and my love of sound in wildlife sound recording. I grew up working on my family farm in Kent, surrounded by nature, where I developed a keen interest and understanding of wildlife. I am intent on pursuing a career in the sound aspect of documentary film making, particularly wildlife and I'm seeking further experience in this field.

I have had a lot of experience on location shoots and in post production and have a wide range of recording equipment in my inventory.
