Work in progress:
Preludes for a Small Wooden Box - Short pieces in the key scheme of the Well-Tempered Clavier designed to map the correspondence between harmonics, open strings and stopped notes. Density, a central problem in solo guitar performance, is confronted by playing each successive note of a melody on a different string, cloistering an ebb and flow of gathering and receding overtones. The pieces are intended to unfold into an improvisation, and are interrogated by a computer generated environment of sine tones and subtle live processing . Now booking - please contact for details.

Meditations for a Walk Outside (Gather & Tare 2) - a process for combining field recordings, harps, bells, a computer program, and an old sampler into a stimulating environment for rather understated guitar improvisations.

Jameson’s work strives to create seamless contexts for improvisation, engages fully with silence and stillness, and exploits the idiomatic quirks of the guitar as a catalyst for composition. Jameson solicits a plethora of sounds to interrogate and contextualize his guitar playing. These include a seemingly intelligent improvising computer program; ‘translations’ on harps and bells; field recordings; metal cables captured with contact microphones; sine tones key-gated by natural artifacts (like ocean waves) metronomes or random number generators; and a delay system designed in Max.

Jameson is a sporadic contributor to the Oakland and San Francisco music scenes. He has performed in a long running duo with Theo Padouvas; as part of Ben Goldberg's Brainchild, Michael Coleman's Young Nudist, Anthony Coleman's Retake Iowa; as well as with saxophonist-composers Jacob Zimmerman, Jayn Pettingill and songwriter Jesse Rimler; an 18 year collaboration with songwriter Caleb Nichols; and the rock bands Soft People, Churches, Release the Sunbird, Grand Lake, Some Ember, Rad Cloud and The Bloody Heads.

He studied with Joe Morris and Anthony Coleman at the New England Conservatory of Music, where he graduated with honors in 2007.
