Born and based in Sydney, Australia James Shuar, better known as Luminist, got his start in the music business as an advertising jingle writer in London during his 20s. Having spent between 5 and 6 years as a chorister in the St Andrew’s Cathedral Choir in Sydney during his childhood, Shuar imbues his productions with the harmonic structures present in church music. The producer went on to release two original EPs, namely Simulations and Infinity Mirrors. In addition, he scored the 2017 animated short Jumpy and released his single ‘Plastic Sea’ under Mechanical Records in 2021. He draws inspiration from Rival Consoles, Steve Reich, and Jon Hopkins. Latest release Atone: Heart of the Elder Tree (Original Soundtrack) is out now.
