London-based contemporary pianist James Heather performs reflective, reverb-soaked compositions that take influence from the structure and ambience of electronic music and post-rock. His music is inspired by world news stories, as on the Billboard-charting 2017 full-length debut Stories from Far Away on Piano, as well as personal loss and existential rumination, with releases like 2021's Modulations: EP2. His connections to the world of electronic music include a longtime association with Coldcut, as well as collaborations with Dawn Richard and the Cinematic Orchestra, among others.
