Happy New Year

2011-01-01T21:17:00.000Z

So, that was 2010. Between you, me and the gate post, I've had an absolute shit time.
But... I won't bore you that. I have some tracks ready for you to cast your ear holes to.

The first is called "Pure" and was written for a project I set up on my label for Breast Cancer Research. The version I am sharing is edited and is not the full track. Well, it is technically a full track but not the official one.

The second track is "Eastern Promise 2010" and is very upbeat, dancey, techy malarky track. There is only one way to play this and that is to turn your volume up to eleven. Or, if you're lucky enough, set it to infinity for maximum effect.

And finally, here is me singing and performing a Pink Floyd track called "Comfortably Numb".

Until next time,
Blue

Zeta Aquarii

2010-08-22T09:28:00.000+01:00

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.

2010-06-26T12:17:00.000+01:00

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".

New track available: "Cariad" by Bluejooz

2010-05-05T20:25:00.002+01:00

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

2010-04-21T21:59:00.000+01:00

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

2010-04-08T00:28:00.001+01:00

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)

2010-04-06T23:37:00.001+01:00

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.

The Sixtyone dot com - updates

2010-02-08T12:28:00.000Z

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"

2010-01-22T12:42:00.000Z

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!

2010-01-15T23:58:00.000Z

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 :)

The music is titled as "Powder" but it isn't. The actual track is called "Frozen Dawn".

Shadow Of Doubt by Cyra Elia

2009-07-24T11:11:00.001+01:00

Here is a new song that I have just produced for Cyra Elia (pronounced Kai-rah E-liar)
Written and sung by Cyra and features Kev Carlton Jones on guitars and bass. Drums, keyboards and other musical knick knacks were done by myself.
The track is called "Shadow Of Doubt" and it will only be available for a limited time.

At the moment it is available via Reverbnation (no registration needed) so please take a listen by clicking on the link below.
Shadow Of Doubt

You will find that after listening to the track that there are several other versions on the page. They are the originals. Cyra used this track as a "Work In Progress" and kept her Facebook buddies updated with numerous versions so they could hear how the song went from a simple 4 track recording (Yamaha MT50) to a completed final mix.

You will also find other songs on the page too that you may also like.

Chasing Dreams (Demo) from Cyra Elia

2009-06-21T22:15:00.002+01:00

Cyra Elia has uploaded / released a new demo track called "Chasing Dreams". It's very simple and laid back. The feedback has been really good.

My only concern is that I've got to produce a full blown version of this track but at the moment I don't want to change it as I think it's sublime as it is.

Here you go... it's free!

A couple of new releases from Ambient Collective

2009-06-21T21:28:00.005+01:00

There are a couple of releases that I need to tell you about...
The first is Nucleolus.

This "mini" 4 track release comprises of IDM ambient style creations by Steve Gane, usr/sbin (Dennis Moser), Jujigen (Kevin Rees) and myself Bluejooz.
The concept was conceived by Steve Gane. He wanted tracks for this collaboration to have an element of "Ambient Dance flavour" to them.

It's a very rich and quite diverse release and is one of my favourites (at the moment...)

The second release (and the latest) is "Sonic Strata".
Just like "strata", each track was written in layers by four different artists working on the same track.

"Three tracks... four artist collaborating on one each. Each artist built a layer and then sent it on to the next artist. The result? An incredibly rich and diverse ambient release.
This is our first "true" collaboration release."

Featuring Jujigen, Echomatrix, Palancar, Steve Gane, usr/sbin, Somnarium, Modulator ESP, Phrozenlight, Sonoprint and Bluejooz.

3 Exclusive Ambient Collective Mixes

2009-04-01T18:20:00.009+01:00

There are three new and exclusive mixes created by myself (Bluejooz) now available to download.
They are:

Jujigen Mix
http://tinyurl.com/the-jujigen-mix

A slow building, mind relaxing crescendo of tracks all taken from previous Ambient Collective releases. Expertly crafted to help you unwind and shake off the shackles of a, dare I say it, a real shitty day at work? Totally dream worthy and chilled to the core.

usr/sbin Mix
http://tinyurl.com/the-usrslashsbin-mix

A sweet blend of Dennis Mosers tracks that have been released via The Ambient Collective. The drones are amazingly sublime, intuitive and mind bending... and they really do chill you out. You should light a candle, turn off the lights and kick back to this stunning mix.

Bluejooz Mix
http://tinyurl.com/the-bluejooz-mix

More for the IDM / soundtrack freaks. Some of Blue's finest Ambient Collective tracks mixed together to create a stunning and sometimes frantic atmosphere. Pure lounge music mixed with deep drones; Earth soundtracks mixed with enveloping dynamics with electronica flowing through the musical veins.

All tracks are approximately an hour long.

Please enjoy,
Bluejooz

New release... "Quarks"

2009-03-21T22:56:00.003Z

My little ambient online label, The Ambient Collective, has just released "Quarks", a project launched and conceived by Jujigen (a.k.a. Kevin Rees)
It only contains a few tracks but they really do pack an ambient punch.
Treat yourself... go on, it's free!

C64 classic remix... Delta 07 by Bluejooz

2009-03-11T20:38:00.005Z

Ahhhh... one of the greatest musicians of Commodore 64's history in my opinion was Rob Hubbard.
This version I did was a rearrangement of the original version. It has been knocking around the Internet for sometime but now you can get it here... from the original artist himself... me. Even though Rob Hubbard wrote it (thumbs up!)
I love the original version and hope I've done it some justice. Hard to believe that the original is over twenty years old...
As usual with my tracks I operate something which I've tagged the "Honesty Policy". In other words, if you like it then please consider a small donation. Half of all donations go to Breast Cancer Research.

Delta '07 by Bluejooz (as Transmission 71) by bluejooz

Privately by Cyra Elia

2009-03-04T19:56:00.005Z

Privately was originally written by myself and Cyra around 2001 and featured Ian "Brooke" Marshall on guitar, Cyra on vocals and myself on keyboards. The track went down well at gigs but as a recording it just didn't meld. Two and half years ago I uploaded the original version as a download even though I wasn't happy with it. It wasn't long after when our old guitarist, original member Dave Sharples, heard it and contacted Cyra on Facebook and was hooked on it straight away. He had come up with some guitar hooks and sounds that he thought would compliment the track. In December 2007, Boxing Day, we met up for the first time since 1998 and headed straight to the studio to work on a new version.
New keyboards were layered, new vocals were recorded along with backing vocals and several new guitar tracks were applied to the original recording. After two days recording it was almost ready to mix down. After a few little edits, a snip here, a snip there, a few mind altering drugs... no wait, I can't remember that bit... anyhow, I give you "Privately".
Remember, if you like the track then please consider using the "Honesty Policy". All I ask for is a small donation (paid via PayPal)... I don't mind if it's a cent, a nickle, a dime, a dollar, a quid, a euro. Half of all donations go to Breast Cancer Research charity.

Privately by Cyra Elia by bluejooz

Speedball 2 remix...

2009-03-01T14:35:00.005Z

I've had loads of requests for this track so I've finally uploaded it here so everyone can grab it.
Originally written by Nation XII for The Bitmap Brothers all time classic game Speedball 2.
This was my second attempt at remixing this track and personally I think it's my best version. I have another but it's somewhere online but I can't find it... maybe that's a good thing though because if my memory serves me right... it was a tad shit.

I have some more remixes somewhere including "Gods", "Delta" (two versions) and "Zoids".

I will eventually upload them and share them but for now please enjoy Speedball 2 Brutal Remix!

Again, if you enjoy the track then please consider using my "honesty policy"... click on the donation button. You can submit anything you think is worthy (a penny... a pound... a euro... a couple of bucks etc!)
Donations will go into my beer fund but if I get to £50 pounds then I will donate half to charity. And which charity? Breast Cancer Research.
Many thanks,
Blue

Speedball 2 Remix by Bluejooz by bluejooz

Blimey... back from the dead?

2009-02-22T20:11:00.006Z

Greeeeets.... it's been a while :)
Ok, I'm back. Things have changed too... apart from writing new ambient material I've also dipped back into my band roots too. I've been remastering a few of my old tracks and even re-recorded some too. The latest is a track called "Puppetmaster" which was originally written over ten years ago with my old band "Cyra Elia". We split up over ten years ago so in reality Puppetmaster is a lot older than I remember... I have problems remembering what I had for breakfast most days!
Anyhow, the track has been totally redone and features the original guitarist and vocalist (Dave Sharples and Rachel Whittingham) and sounds fabulous. I'm allowed to biased ;)

The track is available for free... but if you like it (or even think it sucks) then please consider a small donation... even if it's just a quid, a euro, a dollar or a button, your donation will go towards my beer fund. Erm.

One of my tracks is causing quite a stir...

2007-05-12T02:39:00.000+01:00

It appears that one of my tracks called "The Surf At Abersoch" is causing quite a stir in the music world. It is currently a featured track on the latest Serious-Sounds podcast and has had radio play on several ambient networks.
I have to admit that I do like the track myself as it is a little different to most of my usual blends.
Feel free to help yourself to the track...

Is 1 Euro a bargain? You bet it is...

2007-03-07T20:21:00.000Z

For the first time I've decided to try and sell some of my music because basically I need the funds to support my main website Ambient Collective. The proceeds will go straight back into keeping the site alive... and probably me too.

The tracks can be bought on my MySpace site and or directly from Trackseller (recommended) and get this... they are only 1 Euro each... that is cheap! So, so cheap. I must be mad...

I am proud to present to you my first release "Keema". It is a magical blend of laid back electronica, ambient, downbeat and chill lounge music. All tracks can be previewed... so if you like them you can then decide whether you want to buy them.

Released: 04/03/08

A few new tracks

2006-09-26T22:24:00.000+01:00

Greetings,
Feels like it's been ages since I last posted!
Some of you may be aware that a bloke called "Bluejooz" delved into the realms of C64 and Amiga game tune remixes a few years ago. Well, that was me! After taking a break from writing Ambient tracks I decided to go back to some old classics and give them a new lease of life.
I've just uploaded a new remixed and rearranged version of "Delta" (Rob Hubbard) and "Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe" (Nation XII)
They are available at two places:
My Website - Bluejooz.com ( 192 version = yummy )

Myspace.com/bluejoozmusic (128 version = sounds shit )

Also... some of you may notice that I've got a new tag...
I am going under the guise of Transmission '71. Why? Well, I am going to revert Bluejooz back to my ambient genre but for my more uptempo tracks (such as the C64 stuff) I will be using Transmission '71.
I may even do a collaboration track ;)
Right, got to shoot. Off to Ireland in the morning... and damn, am I looking forward to it? Hell yeah!

Will post pictures when I get back.

New track - "And Then the Sun Sets"

I've just released a new ambient / chilled down beat track called "And Then the Sun Sets" and is available for free at http://www.pzaaz.com/bluejooz

It is highly recommended that you get this on your MP3 player then grab a bottle of wine, find a nice spot somewhere either on the beach or a hill just before the sun goes down, uncork the wine, pour yourself a drink, plug yourself in and press play... and chill out by listening to this track and watching the sun set.

Proof is in the Pudding! Or lack of...

2006-03-08T23:19:00.000Z

In July 04 I weighed in at a hefty 21 stone and was going up and up. I decided after feeling very unhappy with myself and that I was only to blame that I had to do something it about it... and pronto too! I started my diet by giving up lots of fatty foods such as pastries, chips, crisps, fried foods and chocolate. In came the salads with chicken or tuna for months on end. I swapped the full fat crisps for low fat alternatives. Instead of fatty snacks I had apples instead. Full fat sugary drinks went too and I substituted them with low calorie alternatives. Sweets too, low fat puddings, even though I never really ate them in the first place! All the junk went out the window and was all replaced with low fat, healthier foods. I used to snack in between snacks! That was a no go. I knew that I had to be strict. And now look at the results! I have shed 7 and 1/2 stone. I did little exercise but I did take up walking during the summer of 05. That may have helped a little too.
So, all I can say to the people who want to lose some weight is do it now. Don't wait until the weekend or next month because it will never happen. Do it now and reap the rewards.
If you would like some tips or advice then please drop me an email.

Ebay Blues... PayPal woes... and that's just the start!

2005-10-31T18:30:00.000Z

It's been a few weeks since my last entry. Thank the lawd I've calmed down.
Things have been a little busy and also a little on shitty too. I've just lost my website (boohooo) due to a parcel going missing (more than likely stolen) to an Ebayer. Long story short...

Put up an item for sale.
It sold.
Got the payment.
Sent the item.
Buyer contacted me explaining that it hadn't yet arrived.
Told the buyer to be patient as it has happened before and the goods do turn up.
Two weeks passed... nothing had arrived.
After a month I got a restriction slapped on me after the buyer put in a dispute claim.
Explained that I had been offline for two weeks so it was impossible for me to have put up my side of the story.
So... due to PayPal restricting my in's and out's I sent them a cheque on the 7th Oct. They haven't cashed it to date. Could be due to the fact that they only accept the cheque payments in DOLLAR$ and not in STERLING. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Probably not as stupid as me though but I still think that the set up is absolute crap. Cheques are being phased out this year so what are they going to do then?
Moving on...
I recieved an email from Host Ultra (the place where my website *used* to be hosted) telling me that my payments have failed and they would try again. Now this whole event started on the 2nd September... it's now 31st October. I was told that they would try again in 15 days. Pheww.
After sending PayPal a few emails on why they cheque still hadn't been cashed I discovered that they only accept dollar cheques (*see "Stupid." ;)) so I quickly sent them a Postal Order. That was last Tuesday... a week has passed and yet again they seem to be dragging their heels.
Got an email last night "Your website has been Terminated". Great! It read:
"

This email is to inform you that your Host Ultra account has been
terminated for non payment.
All your files, databases and settings have already been permanantly
deleted from our servers.

----
Thanks again for hosting your site with us!"

Thanks a bunch... oh and I love that the last line "Thanks again for hosting your site with us!"

So... my webby has gone but hopefully when PayPal drag their lazy butts to their
postbox and cash my Postal order then it will be back!! Bigger and better too!!

Back later..

They were all taken on a Kodak EasyShare digital camera which has sadly since bit the dust... wooden floor, tipsy wife and greasey fingers. Say no more...

Nerd alert!!
Test post! I'm using Firefox these days and I've not really explored it properly. I have just come across this link in the tool area... ahem. I am attempting to see what it does!
If all goes to plan then it means that I don't have to log in to post an update which in my opinion... kind of rocks.

A few updates in the life and times of a dullard.
I've done a few more tunes but these are extremely cheesey!! Why? What? I have done them for a little platform game that "MadLad Designs" are creating. It's a totally addictive "bouncy-ball-boing-boing" game that is so simple to play that I can't stop playing it! The tunes are annoying but they blend in nicely! Let's face it... if you can play "Bubble Bobble" with the volume up for more then five minutes then this will be a pleasure!

Photos... photoes... piccys... piccies!!!
Last September, I spent a week in one the most beautiful cities in the world.. Paris. I took some snaps including a million of the Eiffel Tower for some reason... you know how it is! I am going to attempt to upload some of them somewhere so I can share them with everyone. Some of the pictures I took are stunning... others are just plain crap but I shall seperate the wheat from the chaff and select a few of the best ones.

By the way, as an experiment, some of the pictures have been enhanced.

I will upload them very soon!!

Aye aye! Major overhaul at H.Q.. We are talking a total revamp and a new glossy look. Yep, even though I was off for almost 10 weeks from work, I have only just decided to work on the website and give a new look and feel... And you know what? I'm impressed. Now, I just need people to visit and sign up and plug there tracks! wafflewafflewaffle.....

Did a healing Monday just gone (first in months) and it went really well although the music I used was very veeeeery laid back and even I almost fell into a trance like sleep! It was the first time I used music too so I'm going to need to practice staying awake I think or I'll be falling asleep all over my patients LOL. Just in case you are interested in what kind of healing I do; it's natural "hands on" healing. It's not Reiki but more of an original American Indian style which I guess has been passed down my through my Mothers' side of the family (Cree). Anyhow, enough hocus pocus for now...

Speak soon and be nice :)

I'm the worlds oldest teenager!

2005-04-02T17:07:00.000+01:00

Woke up this morning to the rapturous sound of wind escaping my partners donut. I decided against yawning In case I inhaled anything nasty.
Mornings... I'm not grumpy in the mornings well, okay, not 'as' grumpy as I used to be but I think I've mellowed in my old age. However, this morning, things were a little different. I knew that today was going to be "one of them days".
First off... I have developed spots on my face! They look like teenage spots! I'm 34. I got zits. Crap.
Second, went to check if anything has been emailed to me from an online shop because I ordered a new TFT 17" monitor for a snip of the price on Thursday. So far, I've not heard nothing from the company but it may not be their fault. My hosted server could be playing up and I may not be able to receive any emails to the address that I gave with the order! I only found this out after contacting the online store via a complaints page. Eek, it's probably not their fault lol.
Thirdly, my internet has really been slow today. I tried updating my AV and it wouldn't do it so in the end it crashed my pooter. Shit.
Fourthly, I thought "bollocks to it" and headed off into town with some gift vouchers for WHSmiths with the intention of buying a new game for my XBox. Great! Our Smiffs don't stock the latest XBox games! Oh, they have some XBox games but they are so old that they are on cassettes!
So, all in all, not a good start to the day. It's now approaching 17:30 and I'm unwinding by listening to some of my music.
Holy crap, my CD is jumping!
Think I'll go for a walk with a large bar of chocolate and contemplate how I got my spots!!

Aha! I remember now!

Yup, it's been a few weeks since my last update only because I had forgotten what my password was! Also, being the light headed idiot that I am famed for, I also forgot which email address I had signed up with. Bit of a berk really considering that I'm usually quite a bright spark.
A few updates... I'm back at work! Booooo!

That's it.

Oh, I've also managed to upload 3 new CD's full of my music to my website containing new material and remixes of my ambient / classical / lounge synth work. Surely there must be a better description than that lot... A part from shit please! Anyhow, they are free but I would like it if perhaps that if you did decide to download them then please consider a small donation... say perhaps just a pound / a euro / a buck! Anything so I can upload more music :)
So far there have been over 100 downloads of each CD... But no donations. Man, I could have been a hundred buff better off! Ooops, ahem. Erm, yes, any small donation would be greatly appreciated, thank you very very much ;)

Until next time... nanoo nano.

Music... click here to grab my tracks!!

Update: I've had to pull one of the CD's (Lost For Words) because of a slight cock up in the tracks. Track 3 was the same as track 4 LOL. Told you... A bright spark but flickering in the wind.
A new version will be uploaded only if someone donates a buck!

TTFN ;)

Ouch...

Had a painful couple of days. Thought I'd just let you know...
My bleedin' ribs are killing me at the moment.
I have discovered that hardest part about having broken ribs is that it restricts you in so many ways that I don't think I could list the whole darn lot. So, here is a condensed list of the things that I REALLY want to do... but daren't!

Fart
Cough
Laugh
Burp
Hiccup
Sneeze

And guess who's coming down with a cold?

"Daytime TV and bloody bulbs!"

2005-01-28T13:15:00.000Z

I have come to the conclusion that British daytime TV has to be the worst in the world. I have had to endure a couple of painful weeks recently because of my broken ribs and I have been subjected to some of the most diabolical programs ever. I'm not sure which is the most painful; ribs or TV? Please, someone give me stronger painkillers.

Freaky goings on in the house today too. There seems to be a message trying to get to me this morning... But I can't see it!
I was searching for a replacement bulb for a Kodak DX6430 Digital camera but could I find one? I tried everywhere; Google, Yahoo!, MSN etc., but found nowt. I then decided to turn on my lamp on my desk and low and behold... The bulb pinged. Bugger. The lamp is only a month old so the bulb can't be much older. Anyheeeuw, I went to get a cup of tea and on the way down the stairs I turned on the hall light. Ping. "Shit" was all I could muster. Got to the kitchen and switched the kettle on, went under the sink to get a new bulb for the hall and then realised that there is no way I could change it with my busted ribs. So, I put the bulb back, poured my brew and then headed to the front room for quick look at the TV and popped the light on... Ping. "Bastard."

My first BLOG, my first rant.

2005-01-27T17:20:00.000Z

Blogging.
My first Blog entry.

I'm recovering after being assaulted and finally my ribs seem to be mending nicely. My head is no longer elephant man like neither.
Finished reading "The Da Vinci Code" last night was impressed by it although I preferred "Digital Fortress" (less thinking, more action I suppose) Next book to read? Well, believe it or not, it's another Dan Brown novel called "Deception Point" and from what I've been told, it's a cracking book.

Oh, it's also my Birthday today. I think I've got less days ahead of me than I have behind me now so maybe I should start looking forward more than looking back!

Got a new tune on the go. It should be ready sometime next week so I'll keep you posted. And of course, it is free to download. In the meantime, here you go.
