About:

James Watson is the vocalist, guitarist, synthesist, sound designer and songwriter for the experimental drone and noise project Eightch. He is best known for his live performances and uses synths and effects to create imaginatively dramatic soundscapes.

Each composition is designed to transport listeners into a meditative and/or trance like state. Employing techniques like micro-listening as a way to gain sonic entrainment, ambient works serve as a counterpoint to heavy and aggressive modulation and phasing often played at high volume.

Eightch (pronounced like “H”) has toured extensively in the US and throughout Europe, including performances at both Knobcon in Chicago and Superbooth in Berlin. He is currently in the studio working on a full-length album for release in late 2018.
