Midsummer Ripples

Akumu (15/12/24)

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!

Modern Miracle

This is another collaboration between Jimmy Magee and MiddleSchoolfrown. For this song Midschool developed the ambient beats on Mixtikl  and Jimmy wrote the lyrics,as well as vocals and acoustic guitar. The result is a ponder on the beauty of our world. There is also a thought for the worlds increasing fragility in this song. We hope you enjoy!

Only Constant (Rough Mix)

An old one. The story behind what inspired this is a tad complicating. Drone sound created by stretching an overhead plane and was listening to lots of hildegard von bingen at the time...

When the sun goes to sleep we keep the ambient beat middleschoolfrown are happy to play the sound of life. From Glasgow, Scotland to the beat in your heart and the chill in your head. Our soundscapes take you to another place and all the way back again.......we are the purveyors of the amboustic wall of sound. 

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
