After heading off to Durham University, I wanted to start a band. Will came to Durham a year later, and I told him about a talented bassist called James and the building blocks for Motion Theory were in place.  I then met Dom, who shared our passion for music and conveniently came with a fantastic set of vocal chords.  I have been in bands since I was fourteen and gigged in many different areas of the country. I play piano and clarinet as well as guitar.  I moved on to study at the University of Oxford and I spent most of my time composing wierd and wonderful contemporary stuff with a kind of alt-rock edge.  I am now working as a freelance media composer which gives me the chance to create music across many styles.  Take a look at my personal website at www.jamie-wesley.com.

A few favourite composers/artists: Debussy, Varèse, Stravinsky, Nine Inch Nails, Beethoven, Steve Vai, Incubus. Show of Hands, A Perfect Circle... So a reasonably varied taste.

Stuff I like includes  Tea and Biscuits, Cheese, Fire, Top Gear, Samuel L Jackson, Formula 1 and 15yr Dalwhinnie.
