Presently, James is focused on different manifestations of a project titled Melvyn. Melvyn is a satirical distortion of Dante’s The Divine Comedy and a late-capitalist lament. Broadly speaking, the project follows ‘Melvyn’ who is freshly dead: a toxic libertine and second-rate politician that must navigate the afterlife and face accountability. The project’s collaborators include Edinburgh-based artists, Edinburgh-based bands that play live between acts, and a chorus of angels.
