Biography
Jim’s obsession with electronic music began at the young age of four, when his parents bought him a small one octave synthesizer for Christmas. From there his fascination grew exponentially. He started taking piano lessons at the age of ten and joined the middle school band playing the clarinet. He then switched to the bass clarinet in the eight grade. He was invited to and joined the Southeastern United States Honor Band also in the eight grade on the Bass Clarinet. Once he entered high school, he joined the marching band drum-line, percussion ensemble, jazz band, symphonic band, and concert band. He played drum-set for the jazz band and during his sophomore year, attended the Clayton State Jazz Clinic. While in the marching band he played the bass drum, snare drum, tenors, and all pit instruments. In 1998, between his junior and senior year, he marched on the drum-line with the Spirit of Atlanta drum and bugle corps who placed 14th at the DCI World Championships. He played drum-set for the jazz band and during his sophomore year, attended the Clayton State Jazz Clinic. After high school he moved to Columbus Georgia to attend Columbus State University, majoring in percussion performance with a focus on drum-set. He performed with the Columbus St. Orchestra and in the orchestra pit ensemble for their theatre dept. Jim has also played the guitar for twelve years, though he has had no formal training.
Jim’s first album “Digital Nonsensical” is an attestation of his broad musical training and love of all things that make a racket. Even the most discerning of music enthusiasts will have something new to find in the wide-ranging soundscapes of The Scientific Method.

Hey Jim,
I just wanted to thank you for establishing this great site! I've grown as a page designer, done about fifty revisions, but am finally there, making new talented friends, good connections, but more importantly, I have a well designed site with a player to steer potential clients to.
Things are quickly looking up, in large part to you!
Thanks again my friend,
"Float On" is one of my favorite songs ever. I was kind of trying to rip them off. I tried to make a song that sounds like Tom Petty meets Modest Mouse. Thanks for listening! Have a great day. www.myspace.com/musicofthemax

Hi Jim, Thanks for getting me set up on Independent Media Pros.
In answer to your question of what genre I prefer to compose in...
It really depends on what input has moved me.
I do personally enjoy dance music, and I think that comes through in some of my works.
Thanks for administering this great meeting place.
All the best,
DJBonseye
