The Black Page #2 by Frank Zappa, covered by Rachel Flowers.

Frank Zappa was a unique artist who combined many different elements from many different styles. He loved to take rhythms and melodies to another level.

The Black Page is one of the pieces where Frank used unusual rhythms to take a piece to a new level.

For the drums I used Session Drummer VSL, Garitan Jazz, and Big Band.  Yamaha M06 for the synths and glockenspiel. Nord Electro 4D for the marimba. Nord Piano 2 HA88 for the piano. Fender jazz bass, custom MarbleHead guitar, and flute. I'm also singing the trombone solo at the end.

The Black Page #2 - Frank Zappa (cover)

on the way up you may find it
on the way back down we’re reminded
how impermanent this existence is
you don’t take for granted the times like this
on the way up

on the way up when the going right
takes a twisted turn sends you out of mind
what else can you do but to see it through
every day indeed is a gift anew
on the way up

way up, on the way up

on the way up while recovering
you are not alone you’re discovering
it is down, not out my good friend of time
there is so much hope that is kept alive
on the way up

how we lose ourselves, but we can get it back again 
i know 

on the way up you’ve survived it
all the way back up we’re reminded
just how good it feels just to be alive
on the way up

recorded with Jeff Forrest, Doubletime Productions, San Diego

Jammers On The Storm - with Steph

dOme studiOs 06/2020.

Composed, arranged, performed, and produced by:
Tyler Cressman

Instruments: Martin acoustic guitar, Schecter Bass, French Horn, Steinway Grand Piano plugin, drummer plugin high hat. 

This is the song I wrote about my most recent breakup. It is a very personal track, but I decided to share it with the SC community. I hope that others can relate. There is no malice, only love.......here are the lyrics.......

There are so many reasons to write a song
Some turn out too short and others run too long
I write songs about things I’ll never ever forget
And others about times I might soon regret. 
I wrote songs about people trying to overcome evil. 
I got songs about pandemics and global upheaval
Some turn out good, the others are really bad.
But this one is different, it’s not like the others
This one I wrote …..because I’m sad.


Heard songs asking people to finally come together.
I’ve heard others whose topic is simply the fucking weather
I know songs about advancing human evolution
And others that blast our unrelenting pollution. 
I know more about spreading that holy word called love
I’m quite sure it comes from somewhere up above. 
I’ll never forget the good times that we had. 
Maybe one day I’ll look back and maybe be glad. 
I’ll never forget the good times we had. 
Maybe one day I’ll look back and maybe be glad. 
This one is different. It’s not like the others.
A song about a heart that lives in a gutter. 
I wrote this song because………. I’m sad. 

Hope you all enjoyed it! 

Peace Tyler

Reasons for Writing a Song

Reasons For Writing a Song

tambourin,box noise,guitare artisanal,avec fx guitar rig,,

buvons nos déboires sous le signe de l'espoir,
ayez confiance a votre miroir pour le reflet de votre gloire
le flux du vent sur le blé chantant,
il est grand temps,il est grand temps

Le blé chantant

Non fluent in Italian.
Giampaolo wrote. I pretended

Di lá Di (Text written by Giampaolo De Pietro - Buonesiepi & lepri)

Cooking up the heat and boogie woogie with John. I had two things on my mind writing these lyrics ~ memories of working in a hotel in London when the chef set up a wooden chopping board at the far end of the kitchen, and expertly threw knives at it from the other end when he got pissed off with somebody ~ and seeing all my SoundCloud friends who also regularly burn their dinners when "just nipping back" to adjust a track they are recording :-D

Des paroles simples mais chantées avec le coeur 

Un air dans la tête

eh J'voudrais que tu saches que je t'aime encore,
et que je viens prendre sur moi tous les torts,
revivre ensemble les souvenirs des jours heureux,
quand venait l'été, ce ciel bleu dans tes yeux,

Dis-moi que tu penses encore à moi,
Dis-moi que ton coeur n'est pas fait qu'en bois,

avant que l'hiver ne frappe à ma porte,
viens me retrouver, je suis toujours près du port,

j'espère être encore dans tes pensées,
et que je ne me fais pas trop d'idées,
pas trop d'idées,
des idées ...

Je t'attendrais jusqu'à la fin des temps,
revoir ton visage, ton sourire si éclatant,

Simple words but sung with the heart

An air in the head

I would like you to know that I still love you,
and that I come to take upon myself all the wrongs,
relive memories of happy days together,
when summer came, that blue sky in your eyes,

Tell me that you still think of me,
Tell me that your heart is not only made of wood,

before winter knocks on my door,
come find me, I'm still near the port,

I hope to be still in your thoughts,
and I don't have too many ideas,
not too many ideas,
ideas ...

I'll wait for you until the end of time,
see your face again, your smile so bright,

Un Air dans la Tête

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
