Rough Fields is the operating name of James Birchall, an electro-acoustic composer, lofi/noise/folk artist and electronica producer from Manchester, UK. The project brings together the disparate strands of James' previous musical paths through folk, classical, rock, minimalism, electronica, electro-acoustic and experimental composition, and incorporates a lot of found sound - cardboard box kick drums, controlled pop-bottle explosions, household implements, doctored electronics and other oddities.
