“Artists are subcontractors of the imagination, hired to produce access to a purposeful and adult version of the emotional pleasures of discovery, wonder, fear, and ‘make-believe’ of all descriptions”
Jameson makes organically textured music for guitar, computer controlled synths, a delay system, field recordings, a sampler, ‘translations’ on harps and bells and plenty of reverb. The guitarist improvises live within this randomly responsive environment - all elements coordinated in the moment.
A sporadic contributor to the Bay Area music scenes, he has performed in duo with Theo Padouvas; as part of Ben Goldberg's Brainchild, Michael Coleman's Young Nudist, Anthony Coleman's Retake Iowa; as well as with saxophonist-composers Jacob Zimmerman and Jayn Pettingill; in duo with songwriter Jesse Rimler; a prolific collaboration with songwriter Caleb Nichols; and with the rock bands Soft People, Churches, Release the Sunbird, Grand Lake, Some Ember, Rad Cloud and The Bloody Heads.
Jameson is the Art Department Head and teaches music at Mid-Peninsula High School in Menlo Park.
He studied with Joe Morris and Anthony Coleman at the New England Conservatory of Music.
