Jim Paterson
Lives in Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Jim Paterson plays a variety of instruments though his greatest experience is with keyboards, having held a variety of posts as pianist, organist or accompanist for churches, choirs, clubs, concerts and shows. With this background in selecting, arranging and improvising music for ceremonies, it is natural that his interests should lie with Classical and Film music, and inevitable that he should be interested in composition.
In 2000 he started the mfiles web-site devoted to Classical and Film music. This initial experiment grew into a vehicle to provide information and resources for others interested in music, while also promoting some of his own compositions. The first live public performance of "Circus Ride" and "Sword and Sorcery" were given by the Chamber Orchestra of Southern Maryland in a family concert in April 2002, while other pieces have since been performed or played in schools. Jim's music has appeared on a variety of web-sites, and at the current time he is creating music and sound effects for the gaming industry, particularly games for mobile phones and flash animations for web-sites. |
