Session recording from '77, Melanie's homage to Joan Armatrading who she says is her favourite songwriter.

MELANIE Down To Zero (J.Armatrading)

Appointed to enlarge an audience and to acquaint one and all with the expansion pack of available sound known as Octave Zero. AKA "The Female Keith Richards" but more likely to be Page's illegitimate offspring. 
Multi-instrument work in many genres with an emphasis on improvisation largely inspired by relentless analysis and research, an affinity for analog and a regimen of exhaustive experimentation in alternate tunings #LedZeppelin #MastersOfReality #Bauhaus #TheDamned #RoyHarper #BlackSabbath #Donovan #GeoffWorkman #HouseOfStone #MoodyBlues #ELP #PattiSmith #Aerosmith #TalkingHeads #JethroTull #Ozzy #TheWho #TheBeatles #UFO #Zebra #Heart #Yes #TheCars #Journey #KingCrimson

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
