Ouroboros is the symbol that represents the circle of life and how it connects to death. A serpent eating its own tail. Inspired by the passing of close family member and the celebration of birth, James Myhill brings a nuanced, cinematic project Cinematic Inspired 1 - Ouroboros, consisting of twelve instrumental tracks. The respect of life and nature can be observed throughout the album. In there, elements and influences from all around the world join each other for an elegant dance, flowingly while deeply connected.

Myhill carries out a zen-like quality in his music while exploring and weaving the vivid, kaleidoscopic imageries and visions. It draws from subtle movements, like the wind and the kiss of a raindrop in “The Long Climb Out” to magnificent, drastic cinematic moments that feel like the roaring waterfall splashing massive energy in front of you. In a way, Ouroboros is unpredictable and mystically beautiful, just like life and nature itself, but Myhill takes another step forward.

His music feels grounded but in dimension and visions, they reach above the sky into a sonic world that doesn’t exist elsewhere. In here, there’s no boundary, there’s no isolation. The profoundly flowing elements weave together into these ethereal, fantastic, almost magical soundscapes that are deeply touching and awesome. It’s a world that’s immediate and highly conscious. It’s illuminating and free-flowing.

The album itself blends so many different genres and influences from all around the world to a point that feels just spontaneous and inspired. The music in there, can’t really be defined, but it’s like a wonderful melting point where everything gets to be so purely and fully themsevles.

In a way it’s abstract, but in another way it’s high resolution. Myhill is really good at creating rich visions that guide listeners into these unnatural phenomenas. At times, he takes you to a mysterious forest, at times, it feels like the element of water that being so unpredictable and playful in life, and there are also times that feels like you’re in a surreal, fictional space, witnessing an ancient ritual (“The Edge of Chill”), and then there is also the observation of human behaviors and social structures among the tracks. “Memory of Matter” has a glorious but unified glow to it that almost feels imperialistic but nostalgic with a kind of mystery and surreality around it.
