Cold Town Bound - Tarq Bowen (Producer: Nick Mason)

Do I Wanna Know

After a break I'm back on SC. I recorded one of my Didgeridoos and I’ve tried out different things in combination with drum and guitar. Finally this more „rocky“ piece came out. I know, it could be more varied, but I was running out of ideas. Anyway, for me it was a fun-project and I hope you can enjoy it nevertheless ;-) 
Thanks a lot for listening!

Lizzie (https://soundcloud.com/taylor-pentland) made me the immense pleasure to imagine some vocals and to sing on a classic Klezmer track  I developped adding some Flamenco flavors and some festive mood !! Hope you like this mix of colors !!

I imagined this festive reunion between Klezmer and Flamenco  musicians (and dancers!) after playing the original arrangement for 9 clarinet "der Heyzer Bulgar" (Klezmer classic)  written by David Krakauer . https://soundcloud.com/ddjohn/der-heyser-bulgar-arrangement-by-dkrakauer-for-a-clarinet-choir-mix-by-michel-martineau. A special thought to our dear Michel Martineau, I personally miss him very much;  he so kindly  helped help me  mix my 9 clarinet parts !

Hello, Ziggy
I wonder where you are
Wonder what you’re doing
As I gaze toward the heavens

Looking at a star
It is bright like you were
A beacon in the night
You shined all those years

The center of the circle
The ballroom’s brightest light

I’m doing okay
Life ain’t so bad
Once you get it simplified
The pain goes away

Hello, Ziggy
You left us all in the blue
Just faces in a crowd
Our roads converged again

With flowers as a shroud
Now you lost the pain
That caused all the grief
Took it from us all
Stolen like a thief

I’m doing okay
Life ain’t so bad
Once you get it simplified
The pain goes away

Hello, Ziggy
It’s a dog’s life for me
I’m not a shooting star
I bathed in your light
As I watched from afar

Hello, Ziggy
We couldn’t keep you from the pain
You never figured it out
I got it right for us

So… I’m doing okay
Life ain’t so bad
Once you get it simplified
The pain goes away
You shoulda known that
The pain goes away
Hello, Ziggy

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
