Motion by Simon James French
An album written during the reflective year that was 2021. Motion is an exploration of a lot of the techniques that I picked up and ran with whilst creating my Soundscapes Radio series; a maturation of my sound.
It's a bit slow at times, but that's the point. Let it take you somewhere else.
The sound is very much inspired by three years in Japan followed by a year back home in the UK; it's a collaboration between the influence of two homes, two states of being.

I’m SJF (Simon James French), a sound artist and ambient composer. I create music and recordings that explore the hidden textures of place — from Tokyo and Seoul to Kyoto, where I’m now based.
My work spans albums, installations, and sound walks, blending field recordings with atmospheric music. It’s music for late-night contemplation, for listening more closely to the world around us.
