James William Blades - Pare De Sufrir The official soundtrack to the A.G Rojas directed film of the same name will be released on the 4th October 2024. Listen to the first single ‘Alma Gemela’ and pre-order the vinyl via the link in bio. @jameswilliamblades is a British artist, composer and producer based in New York, whose work dissolves the boundaries between music, scores and sound design. Rooted in a meticulous sensitivity to melody and structure, he creates sonic landscapes that refract meaning and tell new stories in the process. Los Angeles based filmmaker @a.g.rojas is known for his collaborations with the likes of Jamie xx, Gil Scott-Heron, Kamasi Washington, Spiritualized and Mitski. Pare de Sufrir is his first independent film: a 48-minute featurette following three people as they navigate the liminal space between life and the afterlife in an attempt to heal themselves and each other.
