Robbie James of Lostbeat Audio is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer with an expansive musical range. Trained in classical flute and jazz saxophone with a Bachelor of Music and a Masters of Education, he has been active in composition, production, and music education for over a decade.

His work spans multiple mediums, including film, video games, theatre, and live performance. Recent projects include original music for the video game Settlands (2023) and ongoing sample library contributions for platforms like ADSR sounds and LANDR (where Smooth Chords guitar sample pack was recognized by LANDR as one of the top two guitar sample packs on their platform). Notably, his 2019 Dewolfe library album Beats vs Horns continues to showcase his genre-blending style.

Lostbeat Audio’s international reach is highlighted by his orchestration and production for Serbia’s EXIT Festival (2018), and his long-standing collaboration with Matt Nicholson, including their work for the Ascent of Orpheus exhibition at the Bargello National Museum in Florence (2015).

In live performance, he has shared the stage at festivals like Laneway and White Night (Melbourne Australia), and toured extensively, from China with the Royal Melbourne Philharmonic to Thailand with the electronic group Stray Nation. His versatility also shines through collaborations with artists across the globe, from Charlie Lim and Gabriel Lynch to icons like George Garzone and John Abercrombie.

With an ongoing passion for innovative sound, his work continues to explore the intersection of traditional instrumentation, electronic production, and immersive storytelling.
