Ambient opressive and closed in, moving to a wide open mood. Uplifting yet sorrowful. Accoustic guitar giving way to an Electric guitar lead to bring it all together.

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 track was one of several pieces written during a particularly painful and confusing time in my life, and although not a direct response to any particular event, it does reflect the general melancholy that i was feeling at the time. The piece does modulate into a chorus that offers a ray of hope to the listener, but it is fairly short lived and the overall effect is to offset the more opressive nature of the verse sections. I also deliberately ended the track on the Dominant 7th 'turn around' chord at the end of a chorus. Thus helping cement of the auora of loneliness and the idea of the futility and fragile nature of relationships. Tech Note: This was one of the first tracks i ever used my Supernova on. The electric guitar solo was done in one take straight through, and although not 100% perfect, i left it with one note not quite right (can you spot it?), so as to further underline the ideas put over above. NOTE: there is a pretty bad mains hum on this track, which was due to a faulty power supply in my desk at the time of mixdown. I got the desk fixed, but have never had the oportunity to reboot the track and do a fresh mixdown to DAT/MP3
