About James Corachea

The Confidence E.P.
James Corachea

Download Share

I'm an overqualified classically-trained musician. I have studied piano for 14 years (DipABRSM), percussion for 2 years (Grade 8) and flute for a reluctant year (Grade 4). I graduated with a BA Hons Music degree from the University of Exeter in 2005. I'm now taking another foundation degree in Rural Environmental Management to add even more vanity letters after my name and hopefully earn money looking after nature.

I didn't start properly playing acoustic guitar until my last year of uni when the album Aerial Boundaries changed my life. I have taught myself the guitar. I play a Taylor Big Baby acoustic guitar as my main instrument. I also own a Warr Touchstyle Guitar though sadly I haven't got into it to fully enjoy being one of 15 or so people in the UK to own one.

I'm currently working on composing the final tracks for an album. In the meantime my first release 'The Confidence E.P.' is available on a pay what you want basis. Anything from nothing to a hundred billion pounds will do me fine.

Adam Isaac	Oct 28 2009 10:20 AM Hi James, thanks for the comment. I used to help with the vocals/songwriting/performance classes at Mama Stone's, but I now have a new role booking the bands for their new venue in Exeter. They will still have vocal workshops going on though. I like your playing style, hope its going well for you. Adam

Petteri Sariola	Jun 29 2009 4:30 PM hi! thnx. the record actually emulates my current live setup, i play thru a bass amp and a sidechain distortion so it does sound like that ;) peace. -p
Jules	Jun 3 2009 4:33 PM Hi James, How was your gig at Port Isaac? Best wishes!!! Jules
James Douglas	May 28 2009 5:59 PM Hi James (jinx!). Thanks for the compliments, I wrote those a while back but I still like them. I'm recording again next Monday and Tuesday for my coursework, so I'll put up the new tracks then. The course is very interesting and you get to work with a lot of great people, but it's difficult pushing everything through to a satisfactory completion, there's always more you want to do! I've heard Mike live before (he's in Bath Spa doing a music course too) and I was very impressed, I've still not tried lap tapping yet but I'm sure I'll give it a go soon! I'm planning on sending my demos off after next week and seeing what gigs I can get around the country, so if I can find venues around you then I'll be sure to give you a message. Cheers!
Kellie Cox	May 28 2009 4:03 PM Yes, I had a feeling of deja vu too - thanks for clearing that up!

Kimwei (& also myspace.com/kimweis1pieceband)	Apr 4 2009 8:16 AM cheers. Yeah it's annoying that twitter doesn't sync with everything yet. Actually twitter has locked me out! And every time I say "forgot password - please mail it to me" NOTHING gets sent to me. I wonder what's happened!<br /><br />x
