It is the song that drives this artist. Never bound by “formula”, Joi’s style has exploded through his gravitation to the guitar as his main songwriting tool. His drumming background has given him a keen awareness of rhythm and percussion that bubbles beneath his signature vocals delivering waves of fluid melody. There is a splash of “world beat” flavor countering and fusing the ever-present electric and acoustic guitars.
The human experience is his most fascinating palette. The interaction and perspective of people are the substance of his lyrics which are woven through the fabric of infectious melodies. Whether a simple statement of emotion or a testimonial to Joi’s life experiences, the result is a brutally honest song written and delivered with conviction as an extension of himself. Joi constantly dares and re-defines his artistic license. His songs are conceptually, lyrically and musically engaging in their dynamics.

Website: http://www.labelsound.com/music_details.pl/?id=310
An emerging composer for Television, Documentary, Film Soundtrack and Multimedia , Simon has written music sweeping across many genres from Orch/World/electronic to Ambient, Dance and Classical.
Simon has recently been signed (Nov 2006) to the new visionary record label: Beatpick.com - FairPlay Music Label...
In Sept 2007 Simon Wolfe, was selected for the soundtrack of a video created by the Majority Leaders’ Office of Steny Hoyer, in Washington D.C.
'...The uplifting turn in the video is when Simon Wolfe’s “Power and Glory”, from his album 'Legends of Truth', takes over. The song is a powerful motivational vote for change.'
"...From time to time we receive production music of a very high quality. This is is your case..." David d'Atri at Beatpick.
Some of his work has recently featured in the World Music track CD released by Productiontrax...
'This stunning collection features 26 royalty free world music tracks from Partners In Rhyme, Tay Chee Wei, Really Free Music, Simon Wolfe, and many more Productiontrax.com artists. Beautiful soundscapes, unique orchestrations, and lush orchestra work make up the backbone of this library collection. Featuring real ethnic instruments from Asia, Africa, and the Pacific, this collection is a perfect match for nature films, documentaries, adventure programs, and childrens projects, and any other project seeking an authentic world sound.'
His track 'Next to You' was chosen for the film HARD PILL (writer/director John Baumgartner starring Jonathan Slavin).
Producers may choose from a large stock of existing material or tracks can be custom written and mastered quickly in most formats to specific project requirements.
Credits include: 'Wall to Wall' Television UK (dinosaur documentary), 'Illuminations' UK (music written and arranged for a documentary on Captain Cook's painter, William Hodges on expeditions to Tahiti and India, featuring contributions by Sir David Attenborough).
Simon has just completed a commission writing music for a documentary on paintings of first encounters between western traders and explorers and the peoples of the far east and India. The paintings comprised an exhibition at the Victoria and Albert museum, London in September 2004. The documentary was broadcast on CHANNEL 5 TV in Oct. 2004.
Producer, Sebastian Grant of Illuminations Television commented:
"...we were all really impressed with what you did with this one; you responded very well to a difficult brief and continued to respond to our changing demands. Some great and sympathetic compositions there."
Once a brief is received, material can be written quickly for the client's requirements, with sensitivity to the client's particular budget and needs in each case. mp3 files can be 'to and frod' as email attachments quickly and easily for the client.
Simon has also done commission writing for some local West country production companies, for example Smith and Watson Productions in Totnes, South Devon. He has also had material licensed for broadcast with music for media companies online. His most recent projects include music for 'building a dream' documentary - UK DISCOVERY CHANNEL and also WEST COUNTRY TV (product advertising) and SKY SPORT - middle east:
(FORMULA 1, GREAT SPORTING MOMENTS, PREMIERSHIP FOOTBALL).
Simon is the main driving force behind the project and has worked with a number of different musicians and artists at different stages. He approaches the songwriting projects with an ongoing development of the songs, so that the material is undergoing a constant metamorphic change and development, adapting pieces, reworking them, taking them in different directions.
Some reviews appear below:
Robert Silverstein at MWE.com commented:
"... Got the Lions CD and I really enjoy it. It's kind of out there. Sort of Art Of Noise meets so...mething (it's late!)... and are there any other titles you've released."
Derek Frederickson at Twisted Tracks commented: "...you've got depth to your arrangements and great production."
"A new album by a new artist, Lions On The Beach is the debut CD from U.K. multi-instrumentalist Simon Wolfe. A fine guitarist and keyboardist, the album paints a broad palette of trance-inducing sounds incorporating influences like John Barry (check out the CD’s cool Harry Nilsson sample), Pink Floyd and The Chemical Brothers. Wolfe adds in some Floydian vocal touches to his mostly instrumental drum and bass groove. Cinematically influenced chill-out trance vibes abound and let’s hope Wolfe has the opportunity to release further editions."
