With Harp And Guitar, Only Blues Where Ever We Are

Thank you for your visiting, listening and supporting.

I'm a spare-time musician, usually working as an architect (running own atelier) on an average day.

I play: Guitar & Drums (respectively since 11 years old & 9 years old, since late 70's, quite intermittently, though; skipping some years not playing them while dedicated myself completely to architectural study and practice incl. working in  Europe),
and a little of Keys & Bass guitar (both of the later were started 10 years ago or so)

Roots: Classic Rock, R&B and Funk Rock, 70's Progressive Rock, 70's-early 80's HR/HM, also interested in many kinds of music and sound-art.

Assembler of slight bits of backing, to help you imagine where these songs might someday go.

I do get asked a bit about "the music" but it's no more, no less, than support for the songwriting at this point. Let us call each song a humble, unfinished demo, and I do very much hope you'll enjoy them in that vein. 

I sweat blood for each p'tite chanson, considering every word, every turn of the story, and every note as carefully as I am able, and they are all my dear babies. None is put on this 'Cloud unless I believe I gave it my all, and unless I really hope YOU will find something in it to enjoy.


Thanks to every dear one of you for having a read of this About and having a listen to my songs!! I have lovers of my music outside of this venue, and I thank goodness for those friends—but all of you supportive folks on SoundCloud have truly become an *essential* part of the wind in my sails.


[Désolée, certaines chansons sont un peu plus silencieuses, et certaines, un peu plus fortes que les autres. Contrôle du volume est recommandé!]

J'espère que vous entendez : Une mélange entre Sheryl Crow et les Spin Doctors, ouvrée pour une audience Québecois—c'est le rock cru avec des vocals forts qui provient du blues et de la musique folk, avec un peu de funkiness. En ce moment, il y a seulement des vocals (et un peu de batterie avec laquelle je m'ai amusée dans certains chansons), mais c'est là que je veux de cette musique. Le message : Une peu d'humour, un peu d'amour, une peu de colère… flirty, un peu sexy, optimiste sans fin, mais sage et une pointe de lasse.

[Sorry, for now some songs are a bit quieter and some a bit louder than others. Volume control recommended!]

The notes I hope to hit: A cross between Sheryl Crow and the Spin Doctors, crafted for a Québec audience—a raw rock with strong vocals that draws on blues and folk music, and a little funkiness. At the moment, there’s only vocals (and a little drums I’ve played around with on a few tracks), but that’s about where I’d want the music to land. The message: A little humour, little love, little anger... flirty, a bit sexy, endlessly optimistic, but wise and a touch road-worn.

Believe sounds can affect the total of creation 

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
