Jody Swem

Born into a dysfunctional family (1986), Jody moved home to home within his family and mostly through many foster homes. During his time in foster care (1994-2004) he became enthralled in music, especially guitar. He joined a punk band called "Filthy Authority" (2002) at the time (currently "Faintest Idea") which was short lived, and continued to express musical talent with a praise team in his church in the UK. In this time, he adapted to many musical genres and taught a close friend how to play bass. Later in life, he bought a Canon Rebel XLR camera and began experimenting in photography. Under the guidance of Andrew Crawford, he began getting a feel for pictures and images. During Andrew Crawford's work on "Neplusultra", Jody helped Andrew by playing as "Simmons" and also as an extra. He also contributed some still, and motion pictures for the movie. During the production of "Neplusultra", Jody had garnered a lot of musical experience by playing guitar in a few different churches and began experimenting in ambient guitar sounds, often exhibited by many Christian worship guitarists, Edge of "U2" and Andy Othling of "Lowercase Noises". With this new venture, Jody began writing and composing the score to "Neplusultra". He currently continues to write ambient guitar music.
