James T Scattergood (Formally TACH) was born and raised in Leicester; falling in love with music from an early age, he became fascinated with the piano and was fluent in its use by the time he left
primary school. An instrument he’s utilised and evolved with ever since along with guitar, synth and anything else that he could get his hands on.
When asked to define his music and the genre he believes he fits best, James struggled. ‘I find it hard to place myself in one genre; I’m influenced by so many aspects of life and by artists that differ wildly from one another. I love to experiment and learn new techniques, deepening my understanding of music as a whole is something I live for.’ He is spot on there; he went on to include some of the most influential artists for him: MF Doom, Radiohead, Bjork, Deftones, Wu Tang Clan, Ludivico Einaudi to name a few.
I asked James where he saw his work going next, ‘I’ve just got the limited edition MicroFreak by Arturia, currently obsessed with it and have been creating very synth heavy Lofi beats recently, so expect music to chill to.’ James smiled as he finished his sentence. I asked him if he has any projects planned or collaborations in the works… ‘Well... I am actually working with a talented MC and we’re in the final stages of a track. I actually have a few planned, including a project that will… delve a little deeper into my love of the baseline. But you can expect a three track EP coming very soon. ‘
