Zeta Aquarii

Bluejooz Presents "Zeta Aquarii"... music and computer art combined into one.
And it is in HD too.

Images were created using an excellent free fractal program called Chaoscope.
The images were then saved and then post produced in Photoshop.



Enjoy,

A couple of new tracks released.

I've been a little quiet lately...
But, I seem to have written and produced several new tracks that are free and are available to stream and download.
The first three tracks are taken from the brand new Ambient Collective release "The Eight-Thousanders".

Everest
Lhotse (as Transmission 71)
Makalu

Here is the complete set:

You can enjoy them by streaming or downloading them below.

New track available: "Cariad" by Bluejooz

I've just released a new version of a track I wrote many years ago called "Cariad". This one, just like "Dreamcatcher" is a total rewrite and a whole new sound. I decided to go back to basics with it and rearrange a lot of the original tune.
All performed, rearranged, produced and recorded by myself, Bluejooz.

Record from Propellerhead Software

I wish it was Christmas... this would be top of my list.
Looks like I might have to start saving up... looks the shizz.

I've used several different softstudios over the years but Record looks and is probably awesome.

Oh well, back to Snoozbase.

"Dreamcatcher 2010" by Bluejooz

This post has been updated - the mix is now a newer version. The blurb below is the same though...

A new and remixed version of Dreamcatcher has just been uploaded to my SoundCloud.
It's still pretty rough and needs some mixing to finish (and balancing vocals) but I thought I'd share it with you first.
By the way, this isn't an instrumental. It's a remake of an old track I wrote about 12 years ago. The original was performed by the band I used to write with (Cyra Elia) and was co written by Dave Sharples, Phil Riddell and R. Whittingham.
This new mix features me performing all instruments and vocals too.

Enjoy,
Blue

The Park (Edit 2010)

I've uploaded an updated and re-edited version of one of my tracks called "The Park".

Originally written as Transmission 71 and was released on "Whispers In The Night" on The Ambient Collective label.

You can hear it here or if you can't be bothered to click that link (which takes you the awesome "The Sixty One" website...) then just click on the player below.

The Sixtyone dot com - updates

Just a heads up to tell you that I've changed the tracks at my Sixtyone.com website.
Apparently there was a problem with my other tracks that stopped them from playing so they have been binned and replaced with:
  • Dark Aquariaus
  • The Beach
  • Not Everyone is Down and Out
Three chilled out tracks that are guaranteed to help you unwind.

Ellie Markham "Red Rose Petals"

I've just had the pleasure of working with an extremely talented young lass called "Ellie Markham". The song I have just produced for this amazing 17 year old is one of her original tracks called "Red Rose Petals". It is gorgeous imho and I hope you agree.

It's form is quite raw as I didn't want to detract from the vocal detail.

This is an early version of the track which I'm releasing to you but there will be a stronger and more polished version at a later date.

Many thanks and please... take a listen and if you like it then please say so :)

Tracks online at another site!

I love Soundcloud... the features are good, the ease of uploading tracks is so simple and it's extremely user friendly.
But... being a musician, I want more! And so do you!

I have now uploaded tracks to another website called "The Sixty One".
Ahem, you can now download and listen to my music at http://www.thesixtyone.com/#/bluejooz

The site is an incredible pool of great artists and music. The design and interface is friendly and very easy to use. The only drawback is that you are only allowed to upload three tracks at a time. I think it might be a 24hr turnaround but I'll soon find out... because I'll be uploading more tomorrow.
Oh, and you can sell your music too.

For more information take a look at the site.
It's really good in my opinion :)

Fractals and Bluejooz

I've done a little video containing fractal artworks created using Chaoscope and then post producing them in Photoshop with various free plug ins.
The music is titled as "Powder" but it isn't. The actual track is called "Frozen Dawn".
Enjoy...
