fabulously unhinged, yet in utter control. i salute you.

yeah real nice guitar, and backing, reminds me a little on some level of Jeff Beck, something to do with the phrasing, but not a copy, it's sweet

Come On And Choose

Back At It

I was sitting around creating new presets for the Tone Master Pro and came up with a few for getting those rack style sounds from the 80s. When programming those sounds I came up with a few musical ideas that I distilled into this tune. But it's rather a collage of musical ideas than a tune in the traditional sense.

About All That

I've always admired Larry Carlton and according to others that has influenced both my composing and my playing.
This track was an effort to write a tune where I decided to focus a lot on chord tones both for the melody and the solo.

Living With A Memory

I had this tune up as a demo before.  We've put a little more time into it, thought I'd update it to where it is now, rough mix.  Elliott James put some percussion down, purty sweet.  Work in progress.  I think it'll drive hard once Elliott does the mix!

Matter Of Time

Was making a quick late night backing track and this popped out.  Take 2 on the guitar solo.

Morning

This song is a collaboration with Darren Dopp, who wrote the lyrics and sketched out ideas for the rhythm and "feel" of the song. I came up with the instrumentation and melody.

Lyrics:

Too Far

You say you've gone too far
 You say you've gone too far
Since when, since when
Is this the way we are?

Such good matter, wanting.
Never awake not wanting you
You around, you around
Light winds coming down
From unbroken blue
Ever, oh ever, halo'd you.
Oh, baby, the things we'd do
Oh, the things we'd do.

But you say I've gone too far
You say I've gone too far -
Since when, since when
Is this the way we are?

Hours we lay and play
Wants so nonchalant
Life's a talking trick
Isn't it, isn't it.
Thinking it meant to be,
Thinking it meant to be
Mon dieu, baby,
Mon dieu to you.

Yeah, you say I've gone too far
You say I've gone too far
Since when, since whn
Is this the way we are?

Too far,
Too far,
Too far,
Too far

Too Far   (collab. with Darren Dopp)

Funky Friday

I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!
Jools :)
P.S. If you want to see where the music takes me there is a link to my Portfolio site on Behance below!!! 
NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick
