The original version of "Sophia Loves" was one of my first BiaB instrumental compositions for use as a non-intrusive soundtrack to one of my graphic art videos, all of which instrumentals only used single BiaB styles, but despite liking the chord changes in the original version of this piece it wasn't as good as the others I’d composed and I just felt there was something missing from it. I finally realised that it needed a bridge at the end of the first cycle ('chorus') of chords, then having sorted that I suddenly found that it worked better than expected, but as I didn't want to use a set style I decided to create my own, thus this is what I used:
Piano: Solo Acoustic Piano Ballad John Jarvis
Organ: Country Rock Guitar Solo, Pop Ba Gene Rabai
Tenor saxophone: Slow Country Pop w/ Tenor Solo Mark Douthit
Bass guitar: Dreamy Pop Quintet Tobin Frank
Drums: Ditto Brian Fullen
4 x 48 bar cycles/choruses; 4/4 G; tempo 105; Time 7:28
I prefer mixing the tracks in Audacity
As these days there are so many genres/styles, sub-genres, sub-sub-genres and BiaB's own often very bizarre and occasionally awful styles I never really know what my instrumentals should be listed as, so I just refer to my own style as Wao Tao (Wao Way, but it'd take to long to define 'Wao'!). Suggestions for this track from friends and a couple of BiaB users have been variants of alternative/soft rock/jazz, smooth jazz and horribly even easy listening, but for me the latter suggests James Last, Percy Faith, et al, which "Sophia Loves V2" (version 2) isn't.
