Automaton (1996-2002)

79 images from the James van Leuven archive.

Automaton connects James’s drumming to the Olympia/Seattle record trail: the Adventure Series seven-inch in 1997, Futura Transmitta in 1999, and Clarions and Banners in 2002, where he is credited as drummer and engineer. These images document the project’s live and studio footprint around that run.

Members: Pat Kearney — guitar, vocals, lyrics; James van Leuven — drums; Chris Duryee — bass.
