My name is James, and I’m a music composer working in meditation, nervous system regulation, and well-being. I’m the person behind Point of Attraction Sound, and I’ve been creating music for more than 25 years.

Music created with a purpose

Before I begin a track, I decide on the mental, emotional or nervous-system state I want the music to encourage: perhaps quiet focus, a sense of grounding or deep rest. That purpose guides my work with soundscapes, Solfeggio frequencies and binaural beats.

Where art and research meet

My approach brings together artistic intuition, years of musical experience, study and careful listening. I independently study ideas in neuroscience, psychoacoustics, brainwave activity, brainwave entrainment and nervous-system response. I’m interested in evidence-based audio design, including research into binaural beats and their effects on listening states and brainwave activity.

I use what I learn to inform creative decisions, rather than follow rigid formulas. I’m an artist, and I don’t present my music as medical treatment or promise a particular result.

How the music begins

Sometimes I spend a long time exploring my sound libraries for one texture that feels right. That sound becomes the starting point for the whole composition. At other times, the emotional direction is already clear and I can almost hear the finished track in my mind. From there, I build each layer around the purpose of the piece.

Listening, testing and refining

I listen to and test my compositions on myself throughout the creative process, paying attention to how my mind and body respond. If the music doesn’t create the feeling I’m aiming for, I change the arrangement or try a different approach.

While working with theta- or delta-based binaural beats, I sometimes feel half awake and half asleep. That is a personal listening experience, not a measurement of my brain activity. It helps me reflect on the composition, while remembering that someone else may respond differently. For me, sound design is both artistic and experimental.

Why this work matters to me

The most meaningful feedback comes from people who listen every day. Some tell me the music helps them feel calmer, more grounded or a little lighter during stress, sadness, grief, emotional blocks or difficult periods. Hearing that it has a place in their lives gives this work a meaning I haven’t found elsewhere in music.

I believe carefully chosen music can be more than background sound in meditation, mindfulness, personal growth and therapeutic or wellness settings. It can offer room to relax and stay present, without forcing an experience. For guided meditation, hypnosis and spoken wellness content, I shape the pacing and arrangement to leave space for the voice.

Work with me

You can license existing music or work with me on a custom composition. Tell me about the people you’re creating for, how you’ll use the music and the feeling you have in mind. We can discuss your project by email and reference links; a call isn’t required.
