Midsummer Ripples

Written and recorded 18th June 2015

This is a jam that took about 5 hours to write and record, just a couple of days before I set off to work in the US over the summer. As such, it was largely a message to myself to have confidence when faced with a potentially nerve-wracking but exciting prospect. I needn't have worried, as the time I spent in the US was beyond anything I could have hoped for. This song still serves as a reminder to have courage and to make the most of life, despite a natural tendency to hide away and avoid change.

Live Your Life

I am writing, playing and recording in my little walk-in-closet!
Enjoy!

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
