The songwriter and
performer of classical music known as James C. Starke has released
his latest official full-length album, “In Limbo.” The LP album
contains 10 original James C. Starke tracks for an approximate total
listening time of half an hour. It has been proudly published as an
independent release without the involvement of the corporate music
industry. A broadly varied collection of original compositions for
piano, “In Limbo” showcases James C. Starke as a classical
composer for the modern day in ways both startling and satisfying.
Classical fans are sure to note him.
Chicago's James C. Starke
cites as main artistic influences Caruso, Freddy Mercury, Beethoven,
Mozart, and Louis Armstrong. Starke's own sound takes cues from the
classical and romantic periods and eschews any hint of melodrama. The
surprising result can easily appeal to even the most uninitiated
listener. With an emphasis on colorful, evocative chord progressions
and pared-down, piano-for-piano's-sake artistry, “In Limbo” by
James C. Starke is a flagship release for independent classical
music.
Asked to describe the
overall meaning of “In Limbo,” James C. Starke writes, “No
matter how dark the night, tomorrow will bring new light.”
This is often audible in
the narrative arcs of his compositions, as in the juxtaposition of
Track 2, “A Twist of Fate,” which suggests anxious feelings of
conflict and turmoil, and Track 3, “Delusional Contentment,”
which sounds much as the title suggests: childlike, flippant and
carefree.
“My life has been
one long, amazing musical journey,” writes James C. Starke of his
musical career. “I've played and sang everything from metal to
opera.”
Far from autodidactic, James C. Starke was classically trained in music at Chicago, New York, and Phoenix. Today, he's an award-winning multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, with plenty of recordings and performances behind him.

“I love to perform
and create,” writes Starke. “You can call it an addiction. I live
by the life, love, peace and harmony philosophy. And I'm a proud
father.”
