Welcome, glad to see you here checking out what's new in the world of Hilltop City Life Christian worship music...oh wait, wrong page. This is my blog. Hi! I'm Joseph Cheetham-Wilkinson.
Anyway, I've recently upgraded from the free version of Ableton which I got on a disc with a midi keyboard, to a far more flexible paid-for version. In case you're wondering, Ableton is the music software I use to create all my music. I'm not really a musician in the sense that I don't read music or play any instruments. However, I have always been able to compose by hearing the music in my mind, and modern software gives me the ability to compose what I imagine note by note on a computer screen. It's a laborious process, but utterly immersive and engrossing.
It gives me complete control over every sound. This is my latest Christian song, with the words on-screen, The Father's Hand. I hope you enjoy it! If you want to download the MP3 you can use the Paypal button below and you'll be redirected to a download page. Thanks for your support!

New Christian songs
Early responses to my new Christian songs have been good! Thanks to everybody who's watched it. Don't forget to share and comment, it's really appreciated. I know that some of the Christian songs I make are quite 'heavy', in complete contrast to the Christian kids" songs! I think I'm going to attempt something a little more subtle next, not sure if that's really in my nature though!
Here it is if you have't heard it yet:

Joseph Cheetham-Wilkinson
It's been a long journey!
But we're here now, this is the new home of everything to do with little ole me, Joseph Cheetham-Wilkinson.
There are a few ways you might have ended up here, you may be a fan of the TV series Jovis Bon-Hovis and the Creation Crew, you may have heard some of my music somewhere, perhaps on Youtube or even Christian radio, perhaps you have found some artwork somewhere that caught your eye, or maybe you are looking to commission a piece of music, TV or art.
I guess the point of a blog style website is that they are a little indulgent, and that's what has appealed to me about it, and I'll explain why.
For a while now, years I would say, I've been trying to section off my life into categories on the web. I have a Youtube channel called Christianmoviesuk (which is still my main id...) I opened a Twitter account too, which I must say remains an absolute mystery to me. I have integrated myself into the gibbering mass which is Facebook, with some success, but find myself always wondering who I should be...is it professional? Is it for old school friends? Church news? Is it just a bit of a giggle?
I have also invented a kind of persona on eBay in the past, with some success selling my own guidebook on how to buy and sell on eBay.
There are probably countless other places where I have presented a tailored version of myself appropriate to the particular arena I'm operating in at any given time, from comic illustrator to art dealer, TV producer to songwriter, musician, singer...
It's a pain!
I've struggled many times to settle on one place where I can nest down and put some energy into, comfortably knowing that it won't be irrelevent in two years time.
I finally cracked it by visualising a kind of Venn diagram. And what was this magical places where all these areas overlap? Simple in the end, in the middle it just says 'Joseph Cheetham-Wilkinson'.
Thank goodness that's settled, it's all me! So what we have here is one place where I can be myself, and I am ALL of the above. I won't section myself off, chop myself up, label myself according to the time of day or who I think YOU may be.
Here, I will be myself. I'll be honest, I'll be open.
