A genre crossing Guitarist. Programmed beats, Ambiet moods, sometimes uplifting, sometimes melancholy, with accoustic/Electric guitar featured throughout. Diffi
JJ is an artist who adopts a very eclectic, genre hopping approach to his music. Combining soft Accoustic guitars and wailing Electric guitars with Ambient Electronics and programmed beats, Joshua treads a line not often pursued. Inspired as much by the trance rock of Steve Hillage and the electronic textures of vangelis and Jean Michelle Jarre, to the Acoustic brilliance of Gordon Giltrap and Steve Howe, JJ wanted to express this by heavily featuring the guitar within an electronic setting, and crucially, still retaining a true sense of perfomance (as oposed to the mechanical and often 'fake' guitars found in tracks like '9pm till i come' for example. The music of Joshua Jouet swings wildly from almost completely traditional acoustic guitar, to full on dance floor stompers. Think that great electronic music cannot survive having a featured guitar?....think again!

Story behind the song
This composition was originally written during a very dark time in my life, and in a way, it was a signal that there was a light at the end of the tunnel, and that it was indeed a light and not the front of an oncoming train!! The title is from a beautifully sad day i spent in Camden with a girl who was leaving me (and it was my fault she was going), and i said to her that we would have our day in the sun, one day. Meaning that, although it seemed like it was over between us, i believed that there would be another time for us to be together and happy. And i was right, 'cos as i am typing this, we have been happily married for 2 and a half years!! The version of the track here is one that i recorded to be played in the church while we signed the registers. This is why the mix is a little drier than i would otherwise have cooked it. This was to counteract the natural depth and reverb in the church. Strangely enough, we really did have our day in the sun 'cos we got married on the Sat 9th of August 2003 which was the hottest weekend (the 10th was the hottest day in recorded history!!!!!!!), so it was pretty bleedin' sunny!!!!!!!! Interestingly, my wife's brother got married last october and asked me to play at their wedding (during the signing of the register), and have a guess what i played?
