Terrific song Ali, you just captured the whole awful incident. Love your humanity....and of course, guitar evocations.

There Is A Better Place

Crow Hill Composing Challenge using Pocket Strings

Pocket of Infinity_Alistair McGrann_LHZ Collective

Track made exclusively with Crowhill company's Pocket Strings Library as per the challenge. 

No additional effects or plugin used
Made in a *very* short time ;D and had a lot of fun doing so! First go at a 'scary' vibe.

Pocket String is an affordable, very well built little jewel. It is highly customizable, from cinematic sound to gritty sound design.

Time's Up! - Crow Hill Composer Challenge - July 2025

PocketStrings.Challenge.Crowhill.by.David.O.White.07,06.2025 - 01 Start(2)

Challenge - to compose a track using only the Crow Hill Pocket Strings library, one day turnaround.  Library has amazing shorts and pizz, sweeping longs, and a really intuitive GUI which allows you to blend as needed great string samples, and also two vintage string synths, with in-library effects.  Chose this genre to make something different to my usual style in the spirit of a challenge, but also make the best of those cracking pizz and shorts and see if I could use them as a creative stand-in for brass stabs and punchy bass.  Really brilliant library at the price point, I had lots of fun!  Thanks for listening!

Made entirely from stringed instruments, using the updated Crow Hill Company Glass Strings, this is one of the most vulnerable pieces I’ve put together.

It’s for moments when words fall short. Music to sit with when you feel quiet, overwhelmed, or just need space. Like the mirror it’s named after, it reflects something back - stillness, sadness, or whatever’s been waiting to surface.

I wanted each note to feel like it was disappearing into the distance. Like how a mirror creates a sense of space - not actual space, but reflected space. That illusion, that gentle stretching of reality, is what this track leans into.

I hope you enjoy it!

The Looking Glass

Tom's piano melodies are so inspirational, not just to me (Mark) but also to Jussi, Georg and Boon. The energy of this piece carried us all off on a wonderful journey. We hope you enjoy the joyful enthusiasm that Tom initiated. Tom also gave me the key line, 'My Way Through' and I had to run with it as it made so much sense with this uplifting and hopeful music. Thanks for listening.

Wherever you’re bound you know I’ll, 
Make my way through 
Sure may take a little while
 But I’ll make my way through

Wherever I’m bound I know I’ll,
 Make my way through
 It may take a longer while 
Till I make my way through

Wherever you’re bound,
…You’re bound
I know that I’m bound, yeah!

When I get there you know I’ll
Make my way through
Sure may need a broader smile
But I’ll make my way through.

My Way Through - Tom Régnier & Friends

The Language Of Love

I wrote this in my 20s in the Apartheid era as a tribute to the many people we lost.

During this time our home and our church were invaded by the Special Branch while we were holding meetings. Our phone was tapped, and at work I received a scare call from the Wit Wolf that a bomb was placed in our legal offices. And yet my anti-apartheid involvement was very light-touch and perfectly legal! Heady days indeed.

One Life (Brian Peters)

It's so hard to touch a life
And it's so hard to feel
To know that this is right
And this is what is real
And when one life goes out
Nothing's changed, nothing's new
It's your point-of-view
You know it could have been you

There's no meaning except to know
That this is what we give
No sense to what we've lost
Except to know we live
And when one life goes out
Something changes within
It's a tragedy
I guess it could have been me

And I'm thinking about Robert 
And I'm thinking about Ruth
And I'm thinking about Albert 
And I'm thinking about Rick
And I'm thinking about Stephen 
And I'm thinking about Neil 
And I'm thinking about David 
And I'm thinking about Chris 

And I'm thinking about Matthew 
And I'm thinking about Fort
And I'm thinking about Hector 
And I'm thinking about Saul
And I'm thinking about Dulcie 
And I'm thinking about Johnny 
And I'm thinking about Solomon 
And I'm thinking about Sipho

And when one life goes out
Something changes within
It's a tragedy

is there an ever blooming flower?
is there an ever open rose?
is there an ever present lover?
well maybe it could happen
who knows

is there an ever thumping mattress?
are there forever open legs?
is there eternal love and happiness?
well maybe it could happen
maybe it could happen

once in a while
go out the open window
and fall into the cold
go out the open window

am I the ever open flower
with petals ever in your nose?
and neurons ever more to fire?
well maybe it could happen
maybe it could happen

An Open Window (with Janine Levinson)

I always loved this track - and in a world that seems increasingly like a disaster movie with the combination of Covid-19, Trump and the George Floyd protests, the track resonated even more. 

I changed the lyrics in the last verse from "Hand out the arms and ammo, we're going to blast our way through here" to "Lock up your arms and ammo, we're gonna march our way through here". There's enough violence and chaos in the world. Democracy moves when we are able to be heard. Stay safe out there.

SOMETHING IN THE AIR
Thunderclap Newman
Words and Music by John Keen

Call out the instigators
Because there's something in the air
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here, and you know it's right

And you know that it's right
We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now

Lock up the streets and houses
Because there's something in the air
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here, and you know it's right

And you know that it's right
We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now

Lock up your arms and ammo
We're gonna march our way through here
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here, and you know it's right

And you know that it's right
We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together now

Something In The Air (Thunderclap Newman Cover)

This is not the way things should be and we all know it. Various things can inspire a song, including anger and sadness as in this case.

If you notice strange chattering noises in the background, I didn't notice these at the time of recording. It turns out these were angry Magpies in the tree outside my house, chasing off my cat - who later needed rescuing from the same tree because he is a cat of little brainpower. Angry voices seemed appropriate, so I left the recording as it is.

BREATHING

Your knee in my neck
Is your shame not mine
I can’t breathe
Like the hate that you show 
With every blow
I can’t breathe

When I ask for your help
You just turn away
When a finger is pointed
It’s me that pays
When you sneer at my skin
Or my different ways
I can’t breathe

Your fist in my face
Is your own disgrace
I can’t breathe
When you rain down the blows
No compassion shows
And I can’t breathe.

When you refuse to care
For a human being
When you look down on me
'Cos you hate what your seeing
When you segregate
To feed your hate
I can’t breathe

When you forget who you serve
Then you lose all worth
Let me breathe
If you only abuse
Then you have no use
Let me breathe

When I ask for your help
Don’t just turn away
Don’t just point your finger
And make me pay
Please don’t sneer at my skin
Or my different ways
Help me breathe

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
