During FAWM 2019, Klaus graciously recorded this song for me, adding not only his vocal but also delightful background harmonies...
Thanks, Klaus... You're the best...
I hope you will enjoy his performance as much as I do!



BTW you can listen to some cool Klaus 2019 FAWM creations by clicking the links below...
I am hoping he will purchase Biab & start adding his songs to the User Showcase.

A good listen, Jim. Your songs are always "catchy".

You do a nice job with the MIDI stuff, too. That bass is superb!

Jim,
your songs are always positive!...or hilarious as this one.
Klaus did a good job singing it.

Images are hypnotic. I just hope a girl in tight jeans comes to the dream, instead of spooky guy looking from side to side smile

Thank you for sharing!

Misha.

Jim and Klaus ...

Cool, catchy tune. I don't use midi very often - except for some of the strings. But you have a masterful touch with them. Klaus did you right! Wishing you both the very best ...

Alan

PS: I always love key modulations and it gave them a real lift ... which is what they're supposed to do. It brings a new dynamic tio the listen.

Jim,

Fun, catchy song . . . with ear worm potential—I’ll know for sure about 5 minutes after I stop listening to this . . . but I expect this is going to be in my head! :-) Like the harmony work here—really adds to the song. Nicely done!

Kind regards,

Deej

That's a cool demo of the song. I'd love to hear it performed by a tight skiffle or rockabilly unit.


Cheers

The collab worked well...

The midi worked well...

The video worked well...

And the arrangement with the instrument choice and modulation works well...

And, well, we enjoyed the look and listen!

PS As Ray mentioned it would make a cool rockabilly tune...

Loved the song Jim. The intro was cool. Took me a bit to realize it was midi. Have not heard those tones in awhile. Klaus did a great job of the vocals and harmonies. Backtrack had a really cool beat to it..

Nice work on this smile It's super catchy, and I like the progressions on this. Hard not to feel happy listening to this one. A great groove too, and really good use of MIDI.

Thanks for sharing!

I love midi because since I use Biab to compose, write, & notate the song...
It makes it easy just to record the vocal & export to wave...
When I go Real Tracks I seem to get bogged down with having to make too many choices.
