For this one, I used the Melodist feature in BIAB to add the trumpet melody to the background track. The rest of the arrangement is also all BIAB, as below.

Just a little mellow track to hopefully relax people and let them enjoy it if stressed or whatever :-) Hope you like - thanks for listening and for any and all comments!

P.S. I've spent a little time this morning updating my website ... if you feel like it and have time to, please give it a look and give me some feedback on it? But only if you want to, of course. It's at https://jamesdelsono.com . Thanks :-)

Hi James,

I see I am the first one responding to your newest song.
It surely does what you hoped it does to people listening to it. It worked out very relaxing, although I am not stressed at all.
I think I was in quarantine some time before the virus entered our lives. I will explain; I like working on all kinds of sounds and songtypes. I do that on my attic, with some cats around. My wife posesses the rest of the house.

But let's talk about your song. I liked what you made, the melody, the way the trumpet plays in it and that slow rhytm. I am not so fond of the background vocals. They did something that distracts me from listening to the melody. I know for sure there are a lot of people who love those vocals, so don't worry. But I rather have a piano playing a bit louder with pieces of a solo than the 'mmm-ing'.
Having said that, I still enjoyed yor nice song,

Hans

Thanks Hans! You make a valid and very interesting point as regards the vocals. Unfortunately, I'm stuck doing non-musical things today, but I will have another listen tonight at the track with your comments in mind and see what I think and what I may need to do. Thanks, though ... I never thought of this, it's a very constructive thought!
